the quilt that almost wasn't...

I had more trouble with this little baby girl quilt than I have time to describe! Thank goodness it's done in time for the shower I am taking it to on Saturday! Wonks, eyelashes, uneven quilting, dye runs and all! The upside: Made from stash with no pattern, and my FMQ is coming along--slow but sure!

It's really cute, great for a baby girl. I am just attempting FMQing and I am admiring your work, great job.

Neesie 04-25-2012 07:30 AM

I know quite a few little girls, who'd LOVE to be given that quilt! It's beautiful!

I also know a quite few not-so-little girls who would, too... LOL! Me included! It's adorable! I love it!

It is so cute, great work!!!!

Really, really cute baby girl quilt! I am only just venturing into the FMQ myself so I loved seeing yours. You did a wonderful job on the entire quilt. Great job.

Well done, now you have a new design "the baby girl stash quilt." I enjoyed seeing you FMQ I am just now thinking about it, played around with it for a couple of days but had to ask some questions. I liked yours and feel encouraged by it.
I also think that by the time I am up an hour each day God has laughed until His ribs ache.

very cute little girls quilt.

leatheflea 04-25-2012 08:12 AM

Very cute! Nice work , dont tell them about the eyelashes and they'll never know. And if they do just telling its winking at them!

dixie_fried 04-25-2012 09:41 AM

You all are so nice!
"Winking", LOL!
I really appreciate the input. I'm hoping that by posting my photos, I will be able to look back at what I've done and be able to see how much progress I've made. I'm making it my goal to document all my quilts here, and by my next birthday (just shy of a year), I want to see a vast difference in my work.
Everyone just starting FMQ, just keep working at it! It really does get easier and easier. Each time I feel like it takes less mental and physical effort to make it happen.

I like it!!

Sew N Tune 04-25-2012 10:30 AM

Well I glad it was, because it's beautiful, and you did a great job on your FMQ. Better than I'll ever be able to do. I love the colors in it. Lucky little girl.

Very nice meandering. I'm jealous.

Latrinka 04-25-2012 12:03 PM

I think it's precious!

quiltymom 04-25-2012 12:05 PM

Sew very cute!!!!

Sewfine 04-25-2012 12:07 PM

That is sew cute. I am working on a baby quilt now also. Pink and brown paisley, brown and pink polka dot, pink and brown polka, solid pink and white. Had some make the pattern for me. Hope it turns out ok. My free motion quilting still needs some work. Some of my stitches are long and short. Practice, practice, practice for me.

joyce blint 04-25-2012 01:03 PM

Your hard work paid off. It's beautiful. I'm sure Mother and Baby will love it!

Floralfab 04-25-2012 01:21 PM

Wonderful little girl quilt.

Tweety2911 04-25-2012 01:46 PM

Beautiful baby quilt! Your quilting looks good from where I am sitting, very nice! When you look back at this quilt you will admire it and appreciate it for its beauty and work.

MamaBear61 04-25-2012 02:01 PM

It is very pretty. Perfect for the baby's shower

You did a great job. Very pretty.

Looks great to me! The baby will love the bright colors!

Sweeterthanwine 04-25-2012 07:57 PM

I love this quilt. It is bright and cheery - just right for a little girl. Great job.

hensandhollyhocks 04-25-2012 08:18 PM

Very nice. I like the pieced back.

Donna H-M 04-26-2012 03:04 AM

Dixie, your baby girl quilt came out great. Love your fabrics, pattern, and the backing. Your FM is so nicely done. :)

Great looking quilt and your quilting looks really good too.

wolph33 04-26-2012 06:01 AM

looks great-it will be loved by the little girl.

Wanabee Quiltin 04-26-2012 07:06 AM

Very cute and you did a great job FMQ.

SueSew 04-26-2012 07:57 AM

That is lovely - what a piece of work the pieced back was, too!
I too am practicing my FMQ and it's the only way we'll ever get better, so more power to us!

Linnie 04-26-2012 09:39 AM

I love the colors

Teddybear Lady 04-26-2012 09:41 AM

Great job! :thumbup:

girlsfour 04-27-2012 03:15 AM

What a fun quilt! Like the colors. Have you seen the site called "cluck cluck sew"? You would probably like her stuff - looks similar to yours.

Ellageo 04-27-2012 03:37 AM

Very nice!! Just what a little girl would want! Hopefully you took away all the troubles , this little girl may encounter, and took them upon yourself!!

That's quite a compliment! I have followed that blog (along with Oh, Franson! and Red Pepper Quilts and JayBird Quilts and In Color Order and Film in the Fridge....the list is long!!) since before I started quilting myself. I think it's safe to say they have been my inspiratoin.

lfstamper 04-27-2012 04:33 AM

I love it! FMQ looks great and the colors and design are so fun.

Beehiveof9 04-27-2012 06:23 AM

I think it is very cute, and the FMQ is very well done! I think everyone has eyelash issues from time to time, even if they don't admit it. :)

glorcour 04-27-2012 06:51 AM

LOVELY - girly. Will certainly be loved. Great job!
