Delightful Desert - A finish


I am just in love with this quilt!

These sweet animals decorated my design board for weeks.   While I love the cuddly bunny.....


..... the crane might just be my favorite.


For the quilting, I went with an all over FMQ design of loops, done on my domestic machine.  I briefly thought about custom quilting each animal but decided I wanted something that was playful.  The quilt is backed in the softest flannel and I'm hoping makes a baby happy. 

This was my very first commission quilt - I've always wanted to make a pattern by Elizabeth Hartman so was thrilled to tackle this one.


I'll be linking up my finish with  Freemotion by the River,   WIP Wednesday's,  Let's Bee Social, Midweek Makers.  Needle and Thread Thursdays, and Finished or Not Friday.

    So, so cute! I'm sure the person who commissioned you (and the baby) will love it.

    The crane is lovely but the deer with those eyelashes might have my heart! Congratulations on the wonderful finish.

    The quilt is adorable and the quilting is just perfect! I did fancy forest and I have the ocean version - I do love these quilt patterns. The deer might be my favorite - those eyes....

      Yes, I read this too - and it helps with notifying that someone commented but it isn't helping me send emails to respond to folks which is what I love to do. Hopefully blogger will fix this soon.

    Such a fun quilt! I can see it becoming the baby quilt that they won't turn loose of, even when Mom needs to wash it.

      I hope so - I sent care instructions along that will hopefully encourage use and washing!
