I finished this quilt recently and found out...
It was the PERFECT quilt to hang as we welcome a wee one
into our home for the next few weeks or months.
I did a lot of hand quilting on this with white, blue and pink thread.
I love this design so much...
I'm very tempted to pull out another color scheme and begin AGAIN!
My sewing room is a little bit busier than usual...
and that's JUST fine with me.
;)
Beautiful quilt... wee one? things are about to get busy for you?

DeleteThis is stunning!!! We used to be foster parents too! We adopted three of our older kids. One is still at home. It's quite an adventure :) I wish you the best with the baby. They were hard but I loved every minute!
ReplyDeleteLove this, the hand quilting gives it a lovely texture. Enjoy the time with the baby.
ReplyDeleteIt is so beautiful! The perfect thing for the sweet new one.

ReplyDeleteBright, bold and beautiful! My favorite kind of quilt. It should give the little one a lot to look at.
ReplyDeleteThat is really pretty. You are going to have a busy household for awhile. Enjoy the baby snuggles.

ReplyDeleteLove these colors and your hand quilting looks great!
ReplyDeleteReally nice project. Nice that you are fostering a baby too!
ReplyDeleteThis is really successful: I love your colour scheme and the texture that you get from the hand quilting. It looks very pretty hung on the wall too - just right for a little one.
ReplyDeleteI like that! I like how the darker pieces continue the dark of the X and the lighter the sides. claire aka knitnkwilt.worpress.com
ReplyDeleteSweet. Looks like X marks the spot for a little one to love on.
ReplyDeleteYou should make some more. The design is FABULOUS. I can imagine that you would create some fantastic variations.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt with such an artistic feel. I noticed the arrangement that Claire mentioned. And the courthouse steps construction. Congratulations on a wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for your new foster baby.
Ooh, I just love this quilt! The little bits of black give it so much depth!
ReplyDeleteGreat finish and hand quilting!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely finish! I too, love the added darker pieces with the red, blue & pink, and your quilting makes it even more special!
ReplyDeleteFirst, congratulations on the wee one! Fostering really is the ultimate act of love for children. Your quilt, wow, is stunning! Your hand quilting is beautiful, and I love the design and colors. I immediately thought of the Gees Bend Quilts. I've been wanting to make something in that aesthetic for a while now. (As always, "Too many quilts, not enough time!")
