Baby quilt for my nephew:Over the Easter long weekend a couple of weeks back, I went to visit my new baby nephew, and brought him a quilt that I have been working on for a long time! This is the first and only quilt that I’ve entirely hand-pieced and hand-quilted. It is also made out of the scraps of the quilts I made his parents for their wedding present, so it has special meaning! The quilt fit in very well with his adorable nursery and I hope that it will be used and cuddled over the years. It is very crinkly and soft already, and hasn’t yet been washed!Quilty Details:* Approximately 35″ square finished size* Hand-pieced using English paper pieced diamonds, using Kona Cotton scraps from the gemstone quilt I made for the baby’s parents’ wedding present* Hand-appliqued to backing fabric (Kona Lemon)* Hand quilted using perle cotton; 8-gauge for most but 5-gauge (thicker) for the white* Backing is an Art Gallery Fabrics printLinking up with Finish it up Friday. -- source link
