This month's project for the Lovely Year of Finishes Challenge was a baby quilt for my great niece, Lauren Olivia Jensen, born in May 2012. Her modern mommy decorated the nursery in grey, lavender, and light green. My challenge was to create a baby quilt in those colors, in a very simple and modern pattern. I made a first try in a busy pattern called "X- Block" using floral jelly strips. It did not look good. Way too busy. I seldom throw fabric away, but this went in the garbage.
I put the project idea in time out during the holiday sewing frenzy. This finishing challenge pushed me to get er done. So, here it is:
I hope she likes it.
A really nice girlie color palette -- yet modern baby. I like how you share the quilting on the back. Very nice. Lucky baby.

ReplyDeleteGreat quilt! Sure to please Mommy and baby.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are all so pretty, and your quilting makes such a great pattern on the back! I really like the strip of little squares you put in there.
