Julia is a new child for some friends of ours. And the first girl in that family. So I am welcoming her with a new quilt for her crib. Her mom told me what colors she likes and this is what I came up with.
The clouds are not really yellow. They are white with little gold dots in them.
I did steal the idea from a quilt that I had pinned. It had different colors but is otherwise much the same.
It came together very quickly as it is all fused on. There was no sewing until I did the quilting.
I put an extra layer of batting behind the clouds to let them puff out.
As I am generally not a modern quilt person, I had a daughter who helped me with the fabric picking and the design. I did turn out to be a soft looking quilt. The pictures are not a true look of it. It turned out much nicer than I had almost thought it would.
That is pretty sweet!
ReplyDeleteVery nice Elaine. I'm sure Julia (and her mommy :-) will love it!
