Watch The Video Here: Baby Wilderness Quilt

I was contacted by a friend to make a custom quilt from a photograph that she presented to me. It turned out that it was a baby wilderness animal panel by Northcott fabrics. It's been discontinued and I could not find the fabric anywhere. So, I tried to recreate it in the best way that I could. I used 27 different embroidery threads, 33 different fabrics, and over 150 applicated pieces in this project. The final measurement of the quilt was 47 inches in width by 56 inches in length. It was a really fun project. I loved all the different use of colors in the fabrics as well as the threads.

Two New Baby Quilts

I had a VERY busy Summer painting my home and creating these lovely quilts, hence the delay in posting!! Sorry no house pictures in this post. Quilt 1: Swiss Cross Quilt in shades of light and dark gray fabrics. The quilt was a gift for a young boy from his grandmother. I have made quilts for Grandma before, but was surprised when the boy’s mother did not want a “Boy’s Toddler Quilt”. (I was thinking cars, dragons, sports, etc.) She wanted a quilt he would be able to use way into his teens. His mother picked out the quilt design and she and I worked together to find the perfect fabrics for her color scheme. Custom Label - Quilting: Parallel straight lines - Size: Twin. Quilt 2: Fairy Garden. The other quilt was a beautiful baby quilt for a girl. Fairy Garden was made with a mixture of techniques: hand dyed light gray background fabric, applique and embroidery designs. The very excited “Grandpa to be” even picked out all the fabrics!! Fairy Garden is one of my favorite quilts to make. Custom Label - Quilting: Free motions swirls, clouds and cute butterflies - Size: 46 by 51.
