I'm been reading so many inspirational blogs recently that share wonderful ideas, amazing projects, and the same passion for hobbies that I do......and so, I finally decided that it would be fun to document my projects in the same way. I have been working on several projects lately, mainly blankets for my new son. He's almost 5 months old now, and I am trying to get his baby blankets finished up!!! Imagine that! I'll post more about those soon....
In the meantime, though, here's some photos of 2 quilts that I made for one of my best friend's girls. She recently had twin girls, so I couldn't make just one blanket (of course!). I had to make two matching blankets for them! I have two boys, so anytime I get to make "girlie" blankets - I love it!
Sorry the photos aren't the greatest.... I made these out of Moda BasicGrey Eva and Sultry fat quarters and used a solid off-white for the background. I loved the paisley fabric on the back - it was my favorite print of those lines.
The finished quilt was approximately 40" x 50". I embroidered each of their names on the border so that they can keep them straight! They weren't made from a pattern, just a compilation of ideas collected from all over flickr using the same box pattern. It seems to be a popular pattern, but I really like it.
I delivered them to her shortly after finishing them and she loved them! Hope the blankets get lots of love from her two little ones.....
