I finally have another finish for April. It was a month of sidetracks but fun ones so I'm not complaining. This little quilt is 33" x 43.75" and I will keep this one. I have a few favorite baby quilts that I keep, the rest I gift. The fabric is all Aunt Grace's reproduction 1930s. The embroidery is done on my embroidery machine and the designs were from Cactus Punch many years ago.
having come to quilting from the embroidery path embroidered quilts really appeal though would never be able to do a machine embroidered one,mine i do by hand, this is a real beauty
Good morning Wanda.....What a pretty little quilt and it looks like an antique from years past. Maybe one day it will pass to a great grandchild, or even a great, great grandchild, who will treasure it as a family heirloom.
I love this quilt the most out of all I have seen of yours so far. (I just subscribed) Would anyone have a sugestion for a Florida Baby quilt? I figured I would just use flannel or even plain cotton instead of batting. I have also used embroidery on a quilt. Embroidery machines are so expnsive, I want to make sure I use it as much as possible.
What a sweet little piece. I can see why you want to keep it.
