Jessica is friends with a fellow teacher, who is due with her second child within the next few weeks. Melissa and Jessica are good friends, and I wanted to make Melissa a baby quilt from myself and Jessica for her soon-to-be-here baby girl. Jessica and I decided on a purple and aquamarine color scheme, because she told me Melissa liked the "Brooklyn" bedding from Pottery Barn Kids. I figured that even if she didn't use that bedding to decorate the nursery, I knew she would like the color combo. I used a pattern I've used before, and I just love the ric rac! Jessica gave the quilt to Melissa recently, so I finally get to share it with you!

Ric rac! The bird fabric is Alexander Henry's "Starling Cute"
I quilted it in my loopy free motion, and included my patented "hidden heart" on one of the birds.
Carrie, this quilt is even more beautiful in person! I need to get your address from Jessica to write you an official thank-you note, but I just had to tell you how much I LOVE this quilt! THANK YOU!

That quilt is one of my favorites you've done! I love the color combo and the birds! So stinkin' cute :)
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome Melissa! Mandy - I loved the birds too, and that was my first fabric pick. The colors of the fabric worked perfectly with the combo!
