My Owl quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
This quilt I made for a granddaughter who already had her bedding. She chose a focus fabric with owls and one with[ATTACH=CONFIG]327206[/ATTACH] stripes in these colors plus a blue/grey that I didn't care for. I chose the nearly plain fabrics for this quilt and made the large applique from a maagazine I found in my stash. I am pretty happy with the results. I like to make quilts for babies which are large enough to last for several years. I see no purpose in making quilts which they will outgrow in a few weeks or months. I try to chose designs which aren't too babyish as well

I really like the angled corners - very unusual and very effective. (And of course the owl is insanely cute.)

Same here. Love your quilt. I'm doing the same pattern but without applique.

This quilt is just awesome! Is the background pattern "True Lovers Knot" by Eleanor Burns? Whaetever it is, it's PERFECT with the darling little owl!

earthwalker 04-12-2012 06:18 PM

Gorgeous.....really well done and not too babyish. She will treasure this always.

mariehughey 04-12-2012 07:34 PM

smart to think ahead. I am 55 and would like this quilt on my bed...so you have done well with this design and colors.

Great quilt! Love the Owl !!

Your quilt is beautiful. I agree with making baby quilts large enough to last of several years even though they can be past along to their babies.

jackied 04-12-2012 09:52 PM

such a cute quilt. I'm with you on making baby quilts large enough for them to use longer.

gsbuffalo 04-13-2012 03:12 AM

very cute and love the owl

cairns 04-13-2012 03:44 AM

The quilt is adorable. I almost had to make an owl quilt.
I had no idea what to do. My niece changed her mind
and had me do a giraffe one instead.

Colors, Owl, perfect for each other! Beautiful quilt.

g'ville 04-13-2012 07:19 AM

The pattern is Eleanor Burns lover's knot. I have used the book over and over in vastly different ways. You can make all sizes with this pattern and it's great for beginners since she gives step by step instructions with pictures.

g'ville 04-13-2012 07:20 AM

It's from the older Lover's Knot book.

SandScraps 04-13-2012 07:50 AM

lovely wise old owl.

sandybuttons 04-13-2012 02:37 PM
