This is my most recent finished quilt. This is a quilt for my sister's soon to be born baby. #5...can you imagine?? She and her husband prefer not to find out the sex of the baby until birth, so I was going for unisex in color...but not only that, my brother in law is a re-enactor...he dresses up in Colonial times clothing that he has made himself. He makes his own clothes, tent, blankets...you name it...keeps it real authentic. So, I was hoping for this quilt to not only be unisex, but somehow fit in if they chose to take it to a festival.
I was lucky enough to visit a local quilt shop during a scrap bag sale...fill a bag for $1.00. They were kinda small bags mind you, but I was able to find lots of fabrics for this quilt there.
My sister lays her baby on the quilt I make (I've made each neice/nephew one at birth, and then some) each month to capture how much the baby grows the first year...It's fun to be a part of such a record of growth for these kids!
So, thanks for stopping by...especially if you are from Park City Girl - Blogger's Quilt Festival. I am brand new to blogging, but am looking forward to this new adventure...and a giveaway to get the ball rolling will be happening next week!

Yaayyy!!!! At last! Welcome to the online mayhem and camaraderie that is blogging!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt of choice is great for a child to grow up with as it will remain unisex and is also not a obvious kids design so can grow with them too! and those houses seem to be dancing too!!!
Good luck:)
too cute :)
