Baby Granny Quilt








































I believe that this quilt, as tiny as it is, might be my favorite quilt yet.  I used Trish's tutorial here to make the blocks.  I used some of my most favorite Lecien fabric as well as other prints from my stash. It is hand quilted using hand quilting cotton thread.  All washed and crinkly, it is ready to hold a someday precious grandchild.






Recently I found this vintage crib sheet with matching pillowcase.  Don't they look darling together? Be still my heart…


Smiles,

  2. It is very pretty...I pray that you are mending from your surgery...taking your time and being still while your body rests.

  3. This is so sweet! I love those little granny blocks, they make me think of little "x"s at the bottom of a letter - you know, signed with "x"s and "o"s- hugs and kisses!

  9. Eeek! This is even more wonderful than I had imagined as I have been following your progress. The emboidered bunnies are extra sweet with the quilt. A very inspiring project.

  10. Ooooh, I love this so much! When I saw this a light bulb went off in my head (and no, that doesn't hurt at all)I can make a baby quilt and actually finish it! I have been wanting to use Trish's tutorial but I still have 2 large quilts in process and I just couldn't justify starting another big quilt right now. But a baby quilt! Yes!
    I adore the colors you used too:>)

  15. I smiled at the title "baby granny"! It's sometime hard for us to remember and for our grandchildren to imagine that we grannies were babies once!

  22. That Baby Granny is so cute, I can't stand it. You sure haven't let surgery hold you back. How special to have a vintage sheet and pillowcase to go with it.
    I have a set too, but for the life of me can't remember what's embroidered on it.
    Your hand quilting makes it so special.
