I'm going to give each grandchild a quilt for Christmas. The two hardest are now complete tops. Of course it is the actual quilting that slows me down - my least favorite part of quilting!
This quilt is for Megan. It is from a pattern from Amanda Jean Nyberg called Birch Trees. I read her blog, Crazy Mom Quilts. I changed her pattern by making the squares smaller - 9 1/2" instead of 15". I also made all my squares different shades of blue and all my "trees" rainbow.
The quilt I made for Emily was completely an original design. One day when Marie and I were in Fabric Fanatics, I saw a quilt on the wall that just said to me " this is Emily"! It was a black and white zebra print with lots of colorful squares scattered across it. They did not have a pattern, so I just bought the zebra fabric and designed the colorful squares on my own! Hard to find 9 1/2" squares so a lot of trial and error was involved! The picture leaves a lot to be desired - hopefully when it is completely finished I will get better pictures.
I also finished the last nap mat I will have to make as my youngest grandson starts preschool nextTuesday! Just happened upon some Cars 3 material and that was that!
I sent off to get published in book form the first part of this blog - this will be the first entry in a second book if there is one!
