Baby Quilts - On The Toy Shelf

Yesterday I showed you this photo, just a portion of the finished quilt, because I couldn't get a decent photo indoors.

Here's the left hand end.
Well of course several hours later the sun came out, so I was able to take the quilt outdoors and get better photo's. Here's the complete panel of stitchery.
Lovely bright yellow and white squares for the border.
And pretty yellow and white checks for the backing. A variety of yellows and apple greens to make up the nine patch blocks and green quilting thread. Hollie's chosen yellow and green to decorate the baby's room in.
Blowing in the breeze, all washed and ready for Hollie to take home.
Both this quilt and the rabbit quilt I used the spray baste. This quilt was a pleasure to quilt, the rabbits gave me a bit of trouble as the spray wasn't holding like it should have.

Happy Stitching.

I'll leave you with a little sneak peek, no hints because I know someone's watching......

Very gorgeous and I clicked for a close up because I wanted to see how the stitching looked through the stitcheries. I've never known how to quilt a stitchery quilt so thanks, it looks great.

Oh Linda, that baby will never be cold!! Such great quilts. How many is this now? 15? 16? You must be head down....

Your quilting is stupendous. Love the wavey lines.... How do you like the quilting through the embroidery?

Stephanie said...

Love the apple and yellow combo. So cute. Did you wash your stitchery in the washing machine? I always wondered about that. Man o man...only a sneak peek!

SOOO cute Linda! Lucky Hollie and new baby! And what an interesting sneak peek -- I can think of a few possibilities and they're in no way related to each other!

So cute. Love the stiching and the choice of fabric colors. The quilting gives it a whimisical touch. A question though in my quest to improve my machine quilting - did you mark your quilt top before you quilting it?
