My new granddaughter Ava is due to be born sometime in Feb. Her parents are doing the nursery in Hello Kitty and since all my new babies get a quilt from Nama, they naturally asked that her's be Hello Kitty. I had to use a coloring books to make patterns as I could not find one. Am in the quilting process now, by hand, and I wanted to know what everyone thinks and if I should add anything or what. Thanks.

This is wonderful and so smart of you to use a coloring book for applique patterns.

Adorable...congratulations Grandma! I have one already made out of Hello Kitty fabric that I made for my future grandbaby (not knowing if it was a girl or boy....it was a boy...!) so still waiting for a little girl to come along to give it to...LOL!! She'll love yours!

Thanks everyone. I am so excited about this baby. I have 8 other grandkids but for this son, Ava is his first. He and his wife have been trying for 10 years and had about given up. I am so thrilled for him.

MrsM 01-14-2011 08:51 AM

I am called Nama too! How funny. I love it the way it is.

stpatmom 01-14-2011 08:51 AM

Congratulations on the baby! That quilt is adorable. my seven year old niece would love that. She's very much into Hello Kitty! right now.

Adorable! You did an excellent job for not having a pre-made pattern. Congrats to you, but also to your son and his wife.!

dunster 01-14-2011 08:56 AM

That is a darling quilt.

Vicki W 01-14-2011 08:59 AM

It is beautiful, if I was going to add anything I would add a small border of the bright pink. The new parents are going to love it.

OKLAHOMA PEACH 01-14-2011 09:00 AM

It is so sweet and pretty. Congradulations Nama

Gatormom3 01-14-2011 09:00 AM

That is absolutely precious! It might be my favorite baby quilt that I have seen on this board :-)

raptureready 01-14-2011 09:13 AM

slvrseven 01-14-2011 09:15 AM

The quilt looks amazing! Congrats on the new addition to your family.

bdship 01-14-2011 09:18 AM

Congrats ! Love the quilt, don't change a thing !

Robinlee 01-14-2011 09:20 AM

my little DGD would love this. She is 2 and all I could find was fleece. But I also haven't not found the color book, now will have to really do some looking.

It's great.

Kehoeta 01-14-2011 09:22 AM

I wouldn't change anything either.

ontheriver 01-14-2011 09:24 AM

I did an online search for free coloring pages, found the ones I wanted, saved them on computer to size how I wanted then printed them out. Did not buy a book or even leave the house.

quilt queen 2 01-14-2011 09:26 AM

Just a lovely quilt I wouldn't change a thing! Congrats to you!!

clem55 01-14-2011 09:27 AM

cute as can be!!

abonda 01-14-2011 09:28 AM

Love it just they way it is! Ava will love it too!! Good work so perfect. I always google pics and then create my own patterns. I'm too cheap to do anything else!!

pgthom 01-14-2011 09:35 AM

Very cute! One of my DGD was into Hello Kitty for a while. What color binding will you use? IMHO the hot pink would really make it sing! Nice work and congrats on a new little one in the family.

Iluv2quilt 01-14-2011 09:37 AM

So very cute, I love what you made, she will love this one for sure!!

deema 01-14-2011 09:42 AM

That is just the sweetest thing! Don't add a thing! It is perfect as it is!

cctx. 01-14-2011 09:42 AM

katiescraftshop 01-14-2011 09:43 AM

Is it applique or did you print the pictures in color??

BizzieLizzie 01-14-2011 09:46 AM

It is a gorgeous quilt and such a true likeness of the Hello Kitty character. Very very nice!

paintedquilt 01-14-2011 10:08 AM
