There's a new little baby boy who is going to be born in just a couple of weeks, so grandma Sheila sent me this quilt from California to get it quilted for her.
It's an adorable "plus" quilt in a dark gray chambray with that one pop of red. I love it.
Mom-to-be requested that the only quilting be outlining of the crosses, so this was an easy and quick quilt to get done and get it done in time, too.
I chalked the outlines and then stitched with a dark gray So Fine thread.
Here's a look at the backing which is the same chambray that is on the front.
It may be simple quilting but it definitely makes a statement on this cute little quilt.
I think baby is going to love it because it was definitely made with love.
So tomorrow, it is on its way back home to California so grandma can get the binding on before the "big" day.

ReplyDeleteFaye, I love this and am sure I know who this is for! Congratulations to the entire family. I have thought of them often and wonder if they settled anywhere nearby.
ReplyDeleteAlso, glad to see you quilting again. You must be feeling better!
Hi Marilyn. How are you? Yes, I am pretty much recovered from my gallbladder surgery. Still have some twinges, but have been told they will go away.
DeleteYou're being very cryptic, so I am not sure who you are talking about, but this quilt went back home to northern California yesterday. I will give them your congrats anyways. Keep in touch.

Marilyn....you are a "no reply". I would love to chit chat with you. Can you e-mail me?
DeleteI like the minimal quilting on this plus baby quilt too. It will be much more cushy and soft that way. Didn't know you had surgery. Sorry to hear that.
