    Default Quilt for baby Mave

    Hi Quilters! My daughter asked me to make this prayer quilt for her best friend’s baby granddaughter. Seems little Mave has a health problem, so prayers are requested. Anyway the mom of little Mave likes purple and I like pinwheels-lol I decided to spend a little extra time quilting, while thinking of Mave. I love how the quilting shows on the back! I don’t love the fact that ‘sometimes’ my purple bobbin thread would show at needle holes on the white front I used purple bobbin and white top threads.. I meant to wash it to see if the stitches would look better or sink in more, but I forgot to before I added the ties. It will have to be washed after all prayers are said and threads tied. I think they will like it, my daughter and I do. Have a nice day!

    Beautiful way to send healing prayers for Mave. Love how you did the free motion only in the white sections...makes the quilt look so fluffy.

    Beautiful quilt, so special for new baby and parents. I hope that the baby's problems resolve and that she will grow to be strong, healthy little girl.

    Your generosity and love will be felt by the recipient. The quilt is beautiful and cozy and quilting only in the background takes extra time and patience. Healing prayers for little Mave.

    That's what I call Purple power! Adding Mave to my prayer list and sincerely hope for the best outcome for all concerned.
