Not your standard quilt fabric!

It's worked on 14-count Aida cloth.

Thanks for your kind words! You can find the patterns here: http://www.maurer-stroh.com/cat_animalbabies.html She has oodles of animal baby designs - way more than I worked. It was tough picking my favorites to stitch, I can tell you!

I hope you and your daughter have a lovely time working together on this - it would be a really fun project to do together!

ETA: If your daughter really enjoys cross-stitching, I encourage her to explore more of this designer's work. Her designs are absolutely gorgeous! She has lots of beautiful floral and seasonal designs as well as these baby ones.

What a darling wall hanging. My cross stitch pieces are in a plastic tub. The aida cloth wouldn't wash well so never thought to use your smart idea! About time I got some of the work used. Thank you.

I would say this is definitely an heirloom quilt with all the beautiful cross stitching. I love the cross stitched blocks.

Having done cross stitch way back when, I appreciate the time it took to make all those adorable blocks. You really did a fabulous job setting them in the cute quilt too. Love it.

Beautiful quilt and wonderful workmanship. This quilt is a treasure for sure. Especially love the cross stitch blocks which I am sure is a lot of work.
