My first ever functional quilt! A baby quilt for a friend's daughter. I've only made art quilts for the past 5 years or so, and this was a new experience. I broke my sewing machine in the process, but it's fixed now. The back of the quilt is flannel, the same as the green border. Of course, I made up the design myself. Oh, and Larkin is a vegetarian, hence the carrot print.

A quilt for Larkin's baby
My first ever functional quilt! A baby quilt for a friend's daughter. I've only made art quilts for the past 5 years or so, and this was a new experience. I broke my sewing machine in the process, but it's fixed now. The back of the quilt is flannel, the same as the green border. Of course, I made up the design myself. Oh, and Larkin is a vegetarian, hence the carrot print.
What a joyful gift.

ReplyDeleteI love this quilt! Your friend's daughter will be so happy to get it! By the way, I think orange and green are my favorite color combination!!!

ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely little quilt. The baby will cherish it in years to come. I love the fabric choices and love the carrots. I hope Larkin likes carrots. Babies either do or they really don't. It's a beautiful quilt.
thanks everyone! Larkin is the mom, and as I mentioned she's a vegetarian, so I know she likes carrots. I found out that she's expecting a girl, due mid May. Hopefully I can post pics of the quilt in use.
ReplyDeletethanks again for your kind words!
