Two of my college friends recently had a little girl. (These are clearly art school friends - a baby born to any of the women I went to college with in the 1970s would be well, miraculous!)
I wanted to make a quilt for this little pumpkin and decided that a panel I had already made would be perfect. I had made two similar panels, and had turned one into a bigger quilt for a toddler who joined my extended family. My blog about that quilt is here, For this baby, a smaller one was perfectly sized and is colorful, bold and painterly, like her mom! I forgot to measure it (!) but I think it is about 36 inches square.
I haven't done concentric circle quilting in a long time, but felt that worked for this project!
I did have a few problems with the back for some reason, but spent some quality time with my seam ripper and got it fixed!
In the middle of repairs! |
I had a chance to meet the baby today, and she is a total cutie! Welcome to the world, little Anais Rosemarie!
I can't believe that summer is winding down. I'll soon share some pictures from the Fiberart International exhibit I recently visited in Pittsburgh, PA. Wonderful, creative works! So glad I had the chance to visit. Take care,
Gretchen
