This is the quilt I made for David last January. I wanted something boyish, but not too young... something he could grow with. I doodled on my graph paper one night and came up with this random pattern.
But I can't take all the credit for this quilt! When we decided we were going to sell our old house, I had this quilt stretched on a frame downstairs, and had just started quilting it. We only had 12 days to get our house ready for the market, and we still had to finish two rooms in our basement, get carpet, and a million other things! To get the quilt out of the way so we could get started on the house, I stayed home from work one day and Brad helped me quilt for about 8 hours. What a great husband I have!
I made this quilt for my friend's new baby boy. I didn't have enough time to do a really detailed quilt, so I kind of fudged together this simple pattern. It turned out much better than I'd hoped. I wish I had more closeup shots of the fabrics. These pictures don't do it justice!
Baby Girl Quilt
I made this quilt for my baby girl, Evelyn. I tried to come up with my own design, but was unsuccessful. So I Googled around until I found a few different patterns I liked, then sort of merged them. It took me over five months to finish this quilt, since we were busy with getting our house ready to sell, living with my in-laws, having a new baby, and doing all the other things parents do. But I'm happy with the result, and glad to be finished!
