Modern Zoo Animals Quilt

 

When a friend asked me to make this quilt for her to give as a shower present, I was excited for this opportunity. She wanted something modern with an animal print and minky backing. This was the final result after a couple of sketches and fabric choices.

 

PAST PROJECTS: E's Baby Quilt

I am somewhat of a fabric hoarder. I buy lots of fabrics to use "someday". When I found out that my sister-in-law was going to have a little girl, I had the perfect fabric for my niece's quilt stashed away; birds with pink polka-dots. Wanting to incorporate yellow into the design, I found this great traditional, yellow fabric that complimented the bird fabric perfectly.

M's Naptime Blanket

 M, my son who will be 2 in June, has been using a receiving blanket for his naptime blankie at school. I decided it was time to make him a "big boy" blankie to use.  

Baby J's Owl Quilt

This is the first quilt I made this year. It was a gift to my niece for her Baptism. I wanted to design something pink and girlie, but add some bold colors too. This owl fabric, which was found by my 18-month-old son (long story, see below), allowed me to do just that. You will probably notice that the fabrics match what I used in my studio last week. Though they are the same, the quilts that will be available for purchase are slightly different in design than this quilt. I believe, just like snowflakes, no two quilts should exactly be alike.

Week in Review - Pink Owls

What's been going on in the studio this past week? Well, it has been a week of pink, red, and teal owls. Here is a preview of the fabrics used. Though these quilts are sewn together, it will be a couple of weeks before they are quilted and for sale in my Etsy store.
