Hi Everyone,

I was not going to show this .. Well because I wasn't real happy with the way it turned out. But, what the heck.

Here is the purple baby quit I finished this morning.

I think that is a pretty darn cute quilt. I am sure some little one will be thrilled to get it. And from what I can see your quilting looks great too.

I am glad you decided to share it with us----it is REALLY cute! Is this an original pattern?

Lisa_wanna_b_quilter 08-31-2009 05:22 PM

If I did anything that looked that good I'd be dancing around the sewing machine!

patty48 08-31-2009 05:30 PM

How could you not be happy with that! Love it

RedGarnet222 08-31-2009 06:54 PM

Hi Girls,

Thanks so much for boosting my feelings about this little quilt. I was showing some of my tops to my sister's friend while she was visiting and she fell in love with it and said I want that! So I tried to hand it to her. She is a quilter, herself. But oh no! She wanted me to finish it for her.

I want to tell you how hard it is to quilt for another quilter. You feel under the gun to perform. And I didn't do half as well as I usually do. I have always been that way. I do great until someone is watching too close. Know what I mean?

Anyway, she is paying me. Which I didn't ask for. I hate to sew for money. Because of that same reason above....

Thanks to all of you for your beautiful comments. It means a lot coming from such wonderful quilters.

littlehud 08-31-2009 06:55 PM

That is a great quilt. Why aren't you happy with it? I think it looks great.

RedGarnet222 08-31-2009 06:59 PM

Littlehud,
We must have been posting at the same time. Please see above ... LOL!

Marcia,
Hi hon! Yea it is my design. It was fun to do a kid quilt in those colors. Usually it is pink or blue. It isn't much really. Very simple, like me.

Great quilt - if you are uncomfortable about accepting the money, use it to buy material for a quilt to donate or to give as a surprise to someone .

It is always hard to give others something when they are also interested in our hobby and do it as well.

nanabirdmo 08-31-2009 08:52 PM

i love this quilt. what's not to like???????????

bearisgray 08-31-2009 09:18 PM

If she's paying you, it's gotta be good!

Many quilters HATE to pay anyone else to make something.

Katrine 08-31-2009 09:20 PM

Very cute quilt, and great quilting too.

stitchinease 08-31-2009 11:46 PM

I love purple. Good choice.

Bevanger 09-01-2009 06:02 AM

Awwwwwwwww Why don't you like it? I think its adoreable. :D

wvdek 09-01-2009 06:08 AM

Very nice quilt and you are being rewarded by another quilter because she is paying you for it and she liked your work enough to have you quilt it! Now girl get on with it. :D

RedGarnet222 09-01-2009 07:17 AM

Hi girls,
Thanks so very much your all so sweet to let me know you enjoy it. I am too critical, I suppose, of my own work.

Like I said, it means a lot to hear your words of praise, when I know what accomplished quilters visit this forum.

I am going to Ben Franklin today to look at red rooster fabric and to get a kalidescope ruler. :D

makin 09-03-2009 04:03 PM

VERY nice!

RedGarnet222 09-03-2009 05:49 PM

Thank you makin!

RedGarnet222 03-15-2012 08:51 AM

This is how the little child's quilt turned out after I quilted it. All of the UFO's are finished in the post that was brought up.

MdmSew'n'Sew 03-15-2012 09:54 AM

Great quilt, and you just can't go wrong with purple, now, can you?! It will bring smiles to everyone who sees it.
