My first finish of 2010 is for a good friend and her brand new baby girl, Lucy.
It was no secret I would be making a quilt for her, and I just waved goodbye to it on the mail truck. I was going to wait a couple of days to post about it, but someone decided she wanted to see pictures…
Once I found out this baby was to be a girl, I ordered a charm pack and a jelly roll of Hushabye. I went through various thoughts on what I’d actually do with it, and eventually settled on this. 5″ (cut) centers, 2.5″ borders. The solid is Kona Cotton in Bone, which wasn’t quite so stark as plain white.
The back is the bunny damask print from the same line, with a strip of squares.
Quilting is diagonal lines in pink thread. Binding is also from the same line. Yes, I said I was going to try to do fewer quilts using all fabrics from the same line, I know. But I bought this fabric last October, so I think I get a pass. And sometimes it just looks so nice, you can’t pass it up.
Anyways, it’s in the hands of the postal service, on its way to Manhattan. I hope Lucy likes it! (And her mom, too, I suppose…)
