This is for my cousin's 9th grandchild. She arrived at the beginning of this month. It was a surprise to me, as no one told me she was pregnant. Those people know how to keep a secret. I talked to the mom and she preferred a green quilt. OK, so green it is....along with some pink and brown. I have embroidered this pattern a few times before and I just think it is so cute. Applique done with my embroidery machine.
It is 45" square.
You know by now that my camera skills are marginal at best. haha It's a bright green....the first pic is pretty true to color.
I did some background quilting...not much. and went around whatever was in the block.
And went around arms and cups and legs and whatever needed a bit of holding down.
I love this little guy.
This one is my favorite block.
Cupcake...good choice.
Cupcakes for the cornerstones. Lines going back and forth through the sashing.
I just played in the border....curvy stuff and a few feathers
The back is parts of the fabrics used.
Glide chocolate, shamrock and azalea for the top. So Fine beige for the bobbin. This little thing took 4 bobbins...I was kind of surprised at that.
I am putting it in the mail tomorrow. I hope they like it. Big sister is just about 2, so she might take it over. haha
Big brother is 4....he probably would care less about a tea party. He likes frogs.
