Another baby quilt done! This is the third, and final (maybe, if my co-workers settle down) baby quilt. This one is for Charlie, whose wife is having a baby girl. In their family they name all the first-born girls Elizabeth, and they have decided to give her the nickname Lily. I discovered this quilt on Cluck Cluck Sew, and she had designed it as a Valentine's Day quilt. I loved the color scheme (turquoise, pink, lavender, and orange), and how sweet it would be as a baby quilt. I'd love to see it in a scrappy version too, like this one.
I found this sweet backing, and it and the binding were the only fabrics I had to purchase. All of the hearts were made from scraps!
I quilted it with my all-over loopy free-motion quilting. Surely a favorite of mine! In the bottom right corner, I quilted "Lily" with a little heart at the end, in pale pink thread. I drew it on with a disappearing marker, then quilted right over it.
A went with a classic for the binding - polka dots! I found this binding when I bought the backing, and it matches the backing's bright pink perfectly. I wish I had had it when I was making the quilt (I bought the backing when I was finished), because it would have made a beautiful heart.
Lily is due to make her debut in late May, so this quilt must wait patiently to be gifted. I hope they love it as much as I do! Such a sweet quilt for a first baby.
