Cuteness alert!!
Meet Bernadette, Edgar, Cookie and Jeff! These puppies were so much fun to put together. The pattern is Dog Park quilt by Elizabeth Hartman. I love using her patterns for baby quilts - I've made the Koala quilt a few times and the Delightful Desert.
For the quilting, I went with a 2" spaced cross hatch on the diagonal. When I started the quilting, I cringed when a quilting line crossed over an eye (ouch!) or was very visible against the fabric. Interestingly enough, all that "disappears" once all the quilting is done.
The quilt is a gift for my nephew and his wife for their first child. Baby shower is at the end of the month. I won't be able to attend in person but my sister - future grandmother! - will be sure to capture photos for me.
My youngest made this wonderful crocheted blanket for the new baby (pattern). I love it so much and wonder if I could hint for a mom sized version for myself! Their love of crochet is what got me excited to give it a try again. (See my crochet project.)
This little puppy is my favorite of the four!
What a cute quilt! I'm working on her Fab Farm quilt right now. I lvoe her patterns.
ReplyDeleteLove your cute quilt! And how sweet of your youngest to add her own blanket. That is quite a big size for a child to crochet. Big congrats to both of you! xo
