I don't think the quilting will show up because of the veining in the fabric, there are several large butterflies and the rest in or at least near the ditch! lol I dyed the backing in a gradation from pink to purple and am very pleased with the results, however...... that gal who did the measuring :oops: cut the strips exactly the size of the quilt, no seam allowances or room for error :cry: hence the border on the back.
The bag is a pattern I wanted to try and a baby shower came up at just the right time!
The quilt is for my first granddaughter who will be 13 next month.

did you use a pattern for the diaper bag. my son and DIL are going to have a baby in Nov and my son wants a manly diaper bag, thought it would be easier to make than buy. I love all your work.

yes Denise I did use a pattern because I'm too lazy to figure things out for myself :oops: it's called Pocket Parade Tote from quiltsillistrated.com

Very nice Kathy. My first quilt was the log cabin and it is still one of my favorites!!!

GREAT JOB!!!!!!!

Great colors! You really outdid yourself. i love hand dyed fabric, and log cabins are always a favorite.

I love all the colors, especially that back -- far out!!!!!

i make borders for the backs lots of times. makes them more interesting. just as it does yours.

i would tell you again how much i love it, but you might think i mean it. :lol: :wink: :lol: :mrgreen:

Hannah is going to Love it!!! Very pretty, and the bag is darling!!!

thanks for the link for diaper bag

Manly???? My son-in-law said that he would NOT carry a cutsy diaper bag so my daughter used a book bag. No problem from THAT.

Just a thought - but no sewing there, sorry.

Those are beautiful.......I love the colors :D

thank you all so much for your kind comments, I think one done in dark blues or browns and tans would look "manly" for those guys, don't they realize that people know the bag is for the baby, not the dad?! LOL

They are all beautiful!! I really love that bag!! I love bags!!!

Those are beautiful!!! I really love the border on the back!!!

Very nice!!!

Kyia

Those are both just darling!

Now that is pretty... :D love the colors...I can just see the little one all cuddled up inside that blankie. :D ..now that's the picture I want to see...Oh get a pillow going and fold them all up and put them in the bag...Oh how lucky your a Grandma....I just can't wait to be a Grandma....but my son needs to get a girlfriend first...yeah that's the plan....he says he's to busy...Corpman in the Navy...he's out to sea right now :( :cry: no time...

Everything is beautiful!!!

Hey--isn't that a song? :D

Love the quilt and cute tote bag!
