Finish - Erica's baby girl surprise quilt!

Wow I was pretty quick on this finish! Bought the fabric on vacation in Winterset, Iowa early July, and had quilt finished for a baby shower mid-August. That’s warp speed for me!
Six simple stars, with fussy-cut sheep centers. The quilt coordinates nicely with the nursery, and the mom-to-be loved it!
Sorry these photos are out of order, I’m posting from my phone bc our laptop is in the shop.
Happy quilting!


Finished quilt top on the design wall, auditioning the binding fabric. Does anyone else do that?


This cute sheep fabric was in the bundle I bought in Winterset, Iowa.  Set the tone of the whole quilt, and also harmonized nicely with Erica's decorating theme.

Quilted it myself with a simple meander. I always wash quilts before presenting them.  It looked better in person, not the best photo.  I'll have Erica take a photo with the baby, after she arrives. :)

Love the bunnies on the selvedge!

Ready for gifting!

Hi Chris. When we went shopping for our grandchild, I was surprised to see that gray was the new neutral for all thing "baby." It took me awhile to warm up to. You've made a lovely quilt for a new little one. Cute fabrics and low volume color scheme.

Happy New Year!

Happy new year!  Here's hoping for peace in our world!  A quote that I carry around with me is from my hometown pastor, from years ago -...
