When my niece, Ellanor, was born, I asked my sister-in-law what fabric her nursery would be done in. I bought a matching sample of all of the fabrics to make her quilt. I ended up sewing them in long strips and then using the main fabric to frame them. It ended up being very delicate and girlie looking! Perfect for a newborn baby!
Ellanor is exactly six months older than my daughter (I did not find out I was having a girl until she was born - what a great surprise)! They are great friends and love talking to each other on the phone. I finished the quilt by making little "roses" as the quilting. It was a lot of work, but it turned out great! The back has her name appliqued to it in the middle and leftover pieces of fabric sewn together.
My favorite hobby is quilting. Take a peek at my other quilt posts:
