I made this little 48X48 baby quilt today for a friend's new great grandbaby.

WOW ...
I LOVE IT ...
bopeep

It is beautiful and sure all will love it. I like the redwork.

Love Love Love it!

Beautiful!!

That is so cute. I love it. Great job.

That is very pretty redwork, you did a wonderful job on this :D:D:D

This is precious and I know it will be loved!

Absolutly adorable! I love redwork. Did you do it by hand or on a machine? I'm doing a Christmas rework by hand. Eight squares done, 12 to go. Actually it is going faster than I thought it would. But then I am keeping the stitches really simple. As soon as I can get the software for my embroidery machine I am going to do one with it.

How lovely!

Gorgeous :thumbup: I have some of those same designs but haven't done anything with them yet. :D

Great work! I have redwork bears to sash together for a quilt. No one to give it to at this point. Just like to embroidery when I grow tired of piecing quilt blocks. :)

Great work and very cute.

i love it. great job

Beautiful work, very lucky friend to have you do this, sure it will be very loved.

It is absolutely gorgeous :thumbup: :thumbup:

Sooooooooooo Pretty, just one more thing I'd like to try! I'll need to live to be 120!

Beautiful! I love it!! What size are your blocks?

It's machine embroidered, quilted on my Tin Lizzie. The white (embroidered) squares are cut 8.5inches, the sashing is cut 3.5 inches, the border (white on white) is cut 6 inches. I made a double bed size like this with 10.5 inch white embroidered squares and 4 inch sashing. the larger quilt had larger embroidery designs. They go together quickly and the redwork is easy because it's all one color.
I seem to like the simple stuff.

Thanks for the measurements -- I too like the simple stuff :D :D I purchased some of these designs last week and was wondering how big to make the finished blocks...

Simple is great as far as I'm concerned. I can't wait to get my software. My lqs has done some beautiful stuff, but I do love redwork!

What a sweet little quilt! Wonderful job!

How cute! I've always loved redwork. The embroidery is by your machine? You said you made it in a day. If I hand embroidered those cute designs it would take me eons! The designs are very charming.

Chele, I know what you mean about doing it by hand. I've been working on my blocks for 3 weeks and have 8 done. Oh well, it keeps me off the streets and out of the bars at night :lol:

I have to say how much I admire hand embroidery! I can't do it (arthritus) so the best I can do is by machine. I feel lucky to have my embroidery machine, it has the advantage of being fast but is not hand done. It's like machine VS hand quilting, I couldn't hand quilt either. Technolegy makes so many things possible.

It is wonderful!

That's fantastic and I love the polka dots, too!

Oh ... What a sweet quilt. I do love the redwork (bluework too) it is so wonderful. I love that you kept it simple, it shows off the blocks more.
