Quilt for our newest great niece...Penelope! Not your typical baby quilt, but, my niece wanted bright colors in a quilt that looked like ric-rack...go figure...so this is what I came up with...I think it works...it is about 60 inches by 78 inches...large enough for her to grow into! Hope you like it...I do love the little angel quilt label...gotta get that embroidery on it somewhere!

I quilt and I love your choice of colors! You did a GREAT job and I love the angel label. Did you design the label yourself??

The angel was a freebie from Grand Slam...I added the wording in my software...so, Yes, I designed the label, but I used the free angel in it...

Love the whole quilt and backing and label. May I ask if you made the label design yourself, or is it available to buy somewhere? Also wonder what kind of material you used for the label. I have to make one for my granddaughter and not sure how to do it.

Thank you for your kind words...the angel for the label was a freebie from Grand Slam...I deleted their wording and added back my own using one of my TT fonts in my software...the label fabric is the same white fabric that is in the quilt top...100% cotton, embroidered then appliqued on the back of the quilt.

mlbell70 by mlbell70 23 Aug 2014

Thank you for your heip; I just hope I get the right stabilizer so the wording isn't puckered looking..

Thank you...and yes, it makes me kind of "rethink" making "baby" quilts that I have done in the past...perhaps making them not so "baby" is something I may need to reconsider in the future...still on the fence here!

Oh, I love it! The colors are so bright and cheerful and you have put them altogether so well. Is this a half square like the pinwheel I did, just placed together differently? All you quilters sure inspire me, you all have such amazing ideas. Love your label too. Great job-Toogie

1 comment
dragonflyer by dragonflyer 22 Aug 2014

Thanks, Toogie...no this was not half squares...this was a bias rectangle using three fabrics...if you look closely, you will see the white bias rectangle with a triangle at each end...it uses 14 fabrics...pheeew...

Ooh! Kim, this is just gorgeous. I love the fabrics and also the use of the bright colours. I'm doing one the complete opposite at the moment in pale pastels colours for Delphi. Love the label too, truly a work of art and I know that it will be cherished by all who wrap themselves in it. Love Chris
