Shaded Trails Variation Baby Quilt
 

This quilt was for a great nephew born in August. When asked what they wanted for a quilt the parents answered "greens" so that left a lot to be determined. I had admired a Shaded Trail quilt posted by board member Callen earlier in the year and decided I wanted to give it a try. I did make some changes so that my blocks went together continuously rather than sashed in order to keep the light areas smaller and then quilted with a block design. As I got to the end of this project I was completely out of some of my fabrics so the corner blocks inside the border are embroidered :-)

Nice job! I like how you included something different in the 4 corners.

very nice love the color too!!!!

Very nice pattern and greens.

nice quilt and quilting

beautiful shades of green and lovely quilting!

Great job on the green choices. They have given a nice shadow look to the blocks.

Your quilting design in the centre of the light green is awesome!

(and imagine ... no John Deere's with all that green?:D:D:D)

nicely done... i like the quilting design

Great job! I like the greens!!!

Great job!

I like this pattern. You did a good job on it. Love the greens!

BEAUTIFUL!!! :) I really love what you did with the corners!! :) :)

You really can't see it in the picture, but the top left corner is "Farmer in Training" with a green tractor :)

The baby's Mom was raised on a dairy farm just outside of Bowmanville; but it is the baby's Daddy who is our nephew on DH's side. Another town boy who found himself a wonderful farm girl :)

Perfect inclusion!!

The embroidered touches were a great way for you to deal with your fabric shortage and add in some extra interest.

Beautiful!

Beautiful work. Great colors!

Great job!

Beautiful!!!

Very nice. Creative way to deal with shortage of fabric. I'd like to see the corner embroidered blocks close up.

Not sure how well this will work. I have cropped the original photo to show the embroidery. I apologize for them not being of great quality.
The embroideries are:
"Farmer in Training" (Mom was born and raised on a farm)
"Read, Learn, Grow" (Both parents are avid readers and put a great deal of importance on education"
"Happy Camper" (Dad's family love the outdoors and camp whenever possible)
"Ultimate Frisbee Champion" (Both parents are Ultimate players and have participated in Provincial & National competitions)

Well Done MamaBear ... for choosing ones that have such a personal meaning to the families.
Makes for a real treasure!

Pretty quilt! I'm sure they're going to love this gift!

Looks great!

Great job...

Nice quilt.

Beautiful colors - beautiful quilting!

It looks great!

Very nice. Emphasizes that necessity is the mother of invention. You did good!

WOW - love your fabric and using an embroidered block in the corners was absolutely inspired.

Lovely quilt

Beautiful jobs on all.
