flannel baby kit - fmq - still practicing
 

On a little vacation in June my husband and I stopped at every quilt shop we could find along the way. One was closing out its fabric and going to keep only machines. All fabric was $3.99/yd and everything else was 60% off. Wish this had been on our way out, but it was our last stop on the way home! Got this baby quilt kit for $16 - made a 40X50 flannel quilt of the nicest flannel I've run across. I backed it with Walmart's "super flannel" which was on sale for $3/yd and for the first time ever pieced the batting from scraps I have.

THis goes to a baby girl who has 3 older brothers - an 11, an 8, and a 6. I'm thinking pink will be very welcome in that house!

This felt like an FMQ sampler - I meandered in the large open area, loop-de-looped the carriage, echoed the blocks and other baby things and put hearts in the border. I still don't think I'd want to pay me to do this quilting, but it's certainly getting better.

nicely done. What a sweet quilt.

Darling quilt and you quilting is very nice....I would pay you:)

Very pretty quilt for a little girl! Good job!

Walmart has some of their fleece on sale for $2/yd so each of the brothers is getting a fringed throw. I just took the pink one out of the dryer and I'm so relieved. I like to wash them before they leave me and am always relieved when they still look good. Silly me! The echo quilting looks really cute - the figures stand out from the background. This is so much fun!

Very nice ... it looks cozy

You're right, pink should be very welcome in this family, esp something as pretty as the quilt you made!!!

very pretty!!!!

it's pretty and your quilting looks great. I bet it will be well loved.
