Nursery Rhyme Rag Aplique Quilt - Just an idea, suggestions please!
 

Hi, this is my third attempt at quilting - well, I think it is more a merged art form that came from ideas that popped up in my head. This is a rag quilt, with a nursery rhyme/story embroidered in to it. I appliqued ducks on and then did some free emboidery to enhance it. I would love to do more of this, but I know there is SO MUCH room to improve it - so please any suggestions would be greatly appriciated. I did do one other, and will post it as well - it is a Dr. Suess rag quilt.
Thanks in advance for any help you have to offer!

I'm not sure what you would do to improve this. It looks great to me. A precious child's quilt. Thanks for sharing.

This quilt is wonderful. I love it just the way it is. Soooo cute!

cute,cute,cute

Thank is so stinking cute I just love it!!!!

I don't see a need for ANY improvement. I love this quilt! It is so creative. Keep it up.

wow that is a awesome quilt

My suggestion is Keep up the wonderful work! This quilt is adorable. I'd love some of what's running thru you mind to rub off on me. Great job.

Your quilt is outstanding. I love nursery rhymes. I may never grow up.

I love your originality and this quilt is is so sweet! Great job!

This is so adorable! I love the bright & fun fabrics.

Perfect! Needs nothing else.

BTW, I can't count the times my son in law told story to my grandson.

That is just adorable. Where did the ducks go? I want to know where the ducks went. You did a great job on this . Can't wait until you show the other quilt. BrendaK

I think it is adorable!!

Oh thank you Brenda (and everyone else too!) I have absolutely no idea where the ducks went....I had never heard this rhyme before, but when I asked what Zander liked (it was for his 1st birthday) his aunty told me he loved this rhyme and it was what she used to calm him down when ever he was upset. So I had an idea to make something that was just for him (the back is personalized too) - it took a few weeks of meandering in my brain and that is what came out - my problem with it was size - but I have learned quite a bit on this one and the Dr. Suess (by the way it is on this list under Dr. Suess rag quilt) - so I will be doing another one soon.

Absolutely fabulous. You've done a great job

This is so adorable! I wouldn't change a bit.
I think it is very very original - both the layout and color combi. It is colorful without being overbearing, tastefully done!

I don't think it could be improved. It is absolutely adorable. I love your little ducks and your hand embroidery really makes the ducks and writing that much better.

Your quilt is just too cute.

Looks perfect to me, keep up the good work. Love the bright colors

OMG I LOVE IT!!!! I work with special needs kids and travel to school with them They sing (or listen) to this song almost every day!!!! Keep going with your style and if your looking for an outlet to donate them to try your local Easter Seals schools or other special needs education schools.Wish I'd thought of that!!!! 2 thumbs up !!!!!

Fabulous. No improvement needed. It's lovely.

Cute quilt, great job, I like the story on it.

Looks perfect to me. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Absolutely adorable!

No improvements necessary as far as I can see.

I see nothing else to do to this quilt. It's adorable just the way it is. Thanks for sharing.

It is great the way it is!

Wow! With that kind of creativity, what do you need to improve on??? I'm envious! It's gorgeous. Some little child is going to LOVE it!!!

Wonderful quilt. I think you can give us suggestions. Love it. Thanks for sharing.

How cute can you get???? Love it and don't think you can improve it at all. Please continue to post pictures so we can see what you do next! :)

I love your originality. That quilt is SO SO cute. Thanks for sharing.

To me it looks perfect. It is an adorable quilt.

I have also heard it go this for the last verse Father duck said "QUACK, QUACK,QUACK (Real loud) Four little ducks came hurrying back. May be you could add this to your quilt if it needs to be longer. If it needs to be wider add some borders.

I think it is very artistic and an outstanding job

great work. very original, and you 've made some little child vey happy. Can't ask for more than that.

This is adorable!! If you ever feel like making one as a gift for a kinder class, let me know (hint, hint!)
No improvements needed as far as I can see, it is phenomenal!

Are you kidding? That is beautiful, different, and sure to be loved to death by anyone who is lucky enough to get it. Can't you just see children's fingers caressing the ragged edges? They will love the tactile effects on this quilt.

Your colors and design are fantastic. I wouldn't change a thing. You did a great job. Thanks for sharing.
