Sweet and Simple

The first baby quilt is all done and will be delivered this afternoon.  I used the letters from the Quilt Of Learning pattern to spell out the recipient's name. The rest is simply plain squares of pastel pink, blue and white. When a name is so unique, I always think a personalized gift is extra special.

As I showed in the last post, I put a little scroll inside each heart - some curled to the left and some to the right.

I also stitched scrolls running up the length of the quilt in the strips framing the letters.

The letters themselves were free-motion outlined;  the background was stippled to make the letters stand out.

On the back is a soft blue and white check flannel.

Everything was from stash other than the pink for the binding which came from Mrs. Pugsley's. Emporium.  I chose pink as the quilt is for a little girl.

Now on to the next one, which will be made using brights.  It will have a very different "personality."
