soon to be off the list of wip's. this little quilt is based on a carol doak pattern. i just love her stuff. fun and easy. this went together very quickly.

you all know that i make these for the new babies at my church. another name was added to the list this wk so now we have 7 sets of expectant parents. i love to make baby quilts. they are great practice. i am, however, feeling the need to make a larger one soon.

That is so pretty and cute! Do you wait until you know if it will be a boy or a girl? I think you'll do a fabulous job on a bigger one! Lucky families in your church!

thanks celeste, i don't always wait til i know the gender. but since in know all the couples i try to make something that i think fits mom's taste.
i do try to keep a couple of quilts in the works that could be for either a boy or girl.

That is very cute, are you going to quilt the white areas with some sort of design? Lucky baby & parents :!:

Very pretty design and executed beautifully!

I love your quilt. It's great! Lucky baby!!!

Wow, that is so pretty!

That is gorgeous! I love the colors and the pattern!

Beautiful, love it. Lucky family and baby. You do very very nice work. Thanks for sharing.

Really cute quilt for a baby. Great colors and pattern. Lucky Baby!!!!!!!

I LOVE :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: that quilt! Your fabric / color choices are terrific, and your work is very precise. Well done!! 8) :lol: :thumbup:

I don't suppose there is any chance you would share that great pattern with us? (hint, hint.... but no pressure!) :wink:

This is a adorable quilt and very precious for a little baby.

Very pretty... Lucky baby who gets it to snuggle in.
That is so nice that you make the quilts for the new church babies.

Thats looking great! I like to make baby quilts too and make them to send to Project Linus. I tried the paper piecing and did use a block from Carol Oates (thats right I think)..anyway..it was lots of fun. As soon as I finish the 2 WIP I have right now..maybe I'll try this heart block now that I've seen how great yours turned out :lol:

Wow!! seven new babies! So very sweet of you to make each new baby a quilt to welcome them to the world. This is one of my favorites of all your pieces I've seen so far!

Beautiful! Excellent choice of colors, too!

cnolan, thanks for the kind words. it was a fun quilt to make.
the name of the book where i found this pattern is "easy paper pieced baby quilts". it is by carol doakes. very cute quilts in this book. and they really are easy. and easy to tweak.

I am so thrilled... I already have that book! 8) :lol: 8)

I have to tell you, though... I probably would not have given the pattern much of a chance, based on the fabric choices in the book. Yours are MUCH better!!!!!

Thanks for helping me remember about a great book in my stash, and inspiring me to try one of the patterns in it! :D

thanks cnolan, i too love this book. here patterns are great. very user friendly.

I love Carol Doak's paper pieced patterns too!!Nice quilt--lucky parents!!

l love hearts

It's just darling!! Thanks for sharing
