    Love

    Mar 17, 2012

    Thank you for all the baby well-wishes…we are adjusting well and even managing to sleep well at night…imagine that!
    Luckily I finished up this quilt just before she was born.
    I backed it with a minkee fabric I bought locally.  It has a really nice weight to it and is super soft (by Shannon Fabrics).  I quilted it with minimal straight lines here and there to keep it from being too stiff.

    The quilt matches her perfectly…I can’t get enough of all the pink!

      Go figure, I had three daughters and pink wasn't an option, then I just had four granddaughters and I am absolutely loving how soft and yummy all this pink looks! Congratulations! Trudy

      I mentioned this post (and linked it) in my blog post today (March 27), crediting your lovely color choices for the quilt as inspiration for my project materials.

      I admit it - though I've always peeked at your website daily, lately I find myself coming back more and more often just to take another look at that sweet little baby. (sigh) I remember those days so fondly. Enjoy her!

      Here is a different way to do the half square triangles with no marking, much faster.
      Cut your squares and place them right sides together. Sew a 1/4 inch seam all the way around the outside edge in a square then cut from corner to corner then cut the half in two using your ruler to make sure it is even. Try this, I think you will like the method.

      I followed your pattern for a quilt I made for my baby girl! I'm crediting you (and linking this post) for the pattern of the quilt on my blog! Hope you don't mind! It turned out adorable no matter what colors you use! Thanks!

      I ❤️ This name!! Cluckclucksew!! I build my chicken coop beside my "sew shed" and sew after work while I let the chickens free range. Of course they come to the door and say hi and I can keep and/ear on them too.
