finished appliqueing the baby quilt for my neice
 

last week i posted a little raggy quilt i put together for my neice having our first (family baby) in 12 years....today i finished fusing all the appliques on her (real) baby quilt---the raggy's are fun & easy- great to toss on the floor for baby to lay on---but this one...this one is special! i still have to stitch some of the appliques- but i needed a break & was so happy to have it this far decided to snap a few pics---just finish stitching appliques, then layer, quilt & bind- ready for April 25 shower. :)
and i found out last night my nephew & his wife are expecting now too....no babies for 12 years,,, now 2 this year...guess it means the next generation is growing up. :thumbup:

BUT I like your fabric choices much better.

Lovely and very special. Love babies and am jealous, but so happy for you and your family!!!!

That one is special. I'm sure your niece will love it. Recognized it as a McKenna Ryan quilt right away! I have three of her patterns!

the pattern is a Mckenna Ryan pattern- called Giraffic Park--it's fairly old- the pattern(s) are 7 separate ones- you can choose to make each block individually into an (art quilt-wall hanging) or with the 7th block are instructions for making all 7 blocks into the whole quilt- I've had the patterns for 8 or 9 years (copyright on them is 2003)
i've made a couple individual blocks & used before- this was the first time i decided to make the whole quilt (actually wanted to make the whole one for a long time- just didn't have a good reason to i guess...neice/new baby gave me the perfect excuse) :D

Love this quilt!

Oooooooooooooooh that is so sweet. Well done.

its so pretty you did a nice job!!!

Beautiful quilt!

Looks terrific!!
