What Little Girls Are Made Of ~ Quilt


Here's my latest quilt. It's funny how things come to be. I had actually planned on making a baby boy quilt for my etsy shop. I purchased material specifically for this project (no silly not this material) but couldn't decide exactly what I wanted to do so I switched to plan B ~ do something entirely different!












I gathered together some material on hand, cut it into various sized strips and 
sewed them together. 






Then I decided to add some flowers...and then a butterfly, thought some ric rac 
would add a nice touch and...

Sewed, stitched, & quilted ....







and Viola!  I've named it "What Little Girls Are Made Of" and it's available here!

WIP ~ Works in Progress!


I have two quilts that are nearly finished. The cat quilt (pictures in a previous post) and the Sunbonnet Sue (this one that Erin is holding)  just need the binding finished. This is a nice part to do while watching TV so I'm saving that to do in the evening. They should both be finished and listed in my Etsy shop within the week. 

The last post pictured my daughter cutting apart triangles for the quilt I am working on now. The blocks are a hourglass design and it has several borders. It is a throw size (54 x 65) and will look gorgeous on the back of someone's couch (maybe yours!). It will be wonderful to snuggle under. That should be completed by next week. I took some pictures today of it coming together.
