More WIPs-- Baby Quilts-- Update (2 quilts are complete)

12/26/13  UPDATE:  Winnie the Pooh Baby Quilts for great nieces are complete!  Both are bound in lavender, but quilted and put together a little differently.

Original Post from 11/9/13
I've made a lot of baby quilts this year but have a few to complete for some of my own little relatives (hopefully before they are grown up)!

This one is for a little great niece named Isabella.


The free motion quilting was completed today and it just needs it's binding.

The little center blocks are Winnie the Pooh vintage looking fabric with little scenes that include darling little maps with labels.  The outer blocks are mostly Connecting Threads Quilters Candy.

This is another one is for another little great niece named Havynn.  The second cousins were born a few weeks apart last year.

This one is made with fabric with scenes of cute little hedge hogs and other woodland critters and may be for a cousin's grandbaby but the blue sashing is a little too wide or dark blue, so I'm not 100% satisfied with it.  I think when it's quilted it may look nice.

This one was originally for my cousin's grandbaby, but I'm not so happy with my quilting and that's why it's been on hold for so long.

Hi Sheri. All of the quilts are really beautiful. I especially like the second one with the darker blue. There is just something about it that jumps out at you. And I just love it. Thank you for sharing them . I know they will be loved and appreciated very much by their owners.
