One of the best things about completing a quilt is selecting and starting your next quilt! I have decided to make a baby quilt next.  I plan to quilt and finish this little guy myself as it will be about 3 feet square when it is done. I am not even sure who I will give this quilt to, but I betcha someone who is expecting will turn up soon.  I am using the large Japanese elephant fabric in grey for the centers of the patterns (the pattern is like a lot of flowers) and the gorgeous Moda Sunkissed fabrics in pinks, greys, greens, oranges and yellows.  Here's a look at my flower petal pieces.  I will cut the background pieces in the next few days but they will be pretty boring - they are all solid colors!  More later!

Ginger's beautiful quilt has been pieced and will be heading out to get quilted tomorrow. The quilt top is made of Australian aboriginal prints combined with a forest green Echino solid. The binding will be a black and white dot.  I can't wait to see the finished product! Here's a sneak peek at the quilt top after the prints had all been put together. It is missing the green edge and the top/bottom strips with the lighter colors. Happy quilting! Susan

It's always nice to have a finished quilt hanging around for a few days. This most recent project is a quilt for my granddaughter who turns 3 this week. I used the Heather Ross Far Far Away 2 fabric from Fabricworm and the Chasing Cottons Sand Castle quilt pattern to make a wonderful quilt for her bed. Since my Bernina and I aren't the best at quilting large items, I sent the quilt out for custom longarm quilting from Icepurplepenguin , and Jennet did a stunning job making everything work together. The little hearts in the quilting pattern are just wonderful. Here is a picture of the entire quilt laying in the entry with me looking down from the stairs.
