My nephew's baby quilt

 I finally finished the baby quilt for my nephew. They are in Brooklyn, New York. New parents are in their 40's, so hope things all go well. So far, so good. She is due in November.

I forgot to measure. It's about 55x65 ... somewhere in there.

The letters are crazy quilt style, done on the embroidery machine.

They are cat people, so 2 of the corners have cats.

 

I'm a dog person, so he had to get in there, too.

And, Pooh for the baby.  Hope that scary looking face above Pooh doesn't scare the baby. haha  

I quilted around the letter and alternated horizontal and vertical lines in the blocks. Irregular spacing.  Line spacing in the border also.

Love the colorful dots for the sash and border.

The back is a bit brighter yellow that this shows.   And some wild stripe for the binding.

The baby should have that alphabet all learned by the time he goes to school. 

August accomplishments

 Well, August has been crazy. I finished some stuff....I started some stuff...and I trashed some stuff.

I finished....

..My sister's Plaids quilt .. you've seen it

My cousin Bob's quilt .. in the mail to him

..7 potato chip challenges ... in various degrees of finished ... you've seen those

..Quilted 4 baby quilts for my sister for her new grandbaby ... you've seen those

..Pieced an alphabet baby quilt for my nephew ... it will be quilted when my a/c is fixed in the studio

... finished block #2 in the Pumpkin Kisses BOW

 

..Made 21 crazy quilt blocks ... 20 green and 1 red ..  they are on eBay

..Made 80 rail fence blocks .. they are on eBay

 

..Made 42 Red crazy quilt blocks .. they are on eBay.  The centers are a texture...satin, velvet, corduroy, felt, etc. They are done on the embroidery machine.

 

 

 

..Made 12 Circus Horses blocks. they are on eBay.  It is the center of a Bonnie Hunter block. These are already 18"..if I had finished the block it would have been 24" ..  too large. All the horses are different.  I only had a pic, not the pattern. Her pieces were probably much smaller. My horse square was 6.5". Bonnie's was probably 2" or smaller.

 

..And I started one of these circles on squares. My first intention was to hand sew the circles down, with batting inside. I quickly gave up that idea and fused the circle down and stitched around with applique stitch. I'll make 80 or more. The squares are blacks, whites and greys. The circles are all wild.

 

That's all I got. 

I decided September would be different. I will have no 'formal' challenges. I'll just work on whatever I like. I have plenty to choose. from. haha
