MANDY'S BABY QUILT...PART ONE




YESTERDAY WENT TO THIMBLES, MY LOCAL QUILT STORE AND BOUGHT FABRIC FOR THE PATTERN I AM USING FOR NIECE'S QUILT. THE PATTERN IS BY FIG TREE (I JUST LOVE FIG TREE PATTERNS AND FABRICS)! MY NIECE TOLD ME SHE WANTED BROWNS AND CREAMS, BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT SHE IS HAVING AND THE PATTERN IN THE ROOM ARE CIRCLES. SO...I FOUND THIS PATTERN BY FIG TREE. I HOPE SHE WILL LIKE IT. THE THREE CREAM WAY IN THE BACKGROUND ARE FOR THE BLOCK SETTINGS. I DIDN'T WANT TO ADD BLUE/PINK SO I WENT WITH A RICH RUST AND AQUA, A LITTLE GREEN TOO! EVERYONE AT THE QUILT STORE THOUGHT THE COMBO WAS GOOD, SO AM GOING WITH IT.

SO TODAY, SATURDAY, I AM WASHING ALL THE BROWN LIKE FABRIC, SO IT WON'T RUN WHEN SHE WASHES IT AND THEN WILL START THE PROCESS OF CUTTING!! THIS QUILT HAS TO BE DONE BY JAN 29TH, SO WILL POST PROBABLY DAILY ON IT'S PROGRESSION!

WISH ME LUCK AND SAY A PRAYER!!

HUGS,

MARY

MANDY IS A VERY SPECIAL NIECE...SHE WAS MY FLOWER GIRL 29 YRS AGO FOR OUR WEDDING!!! NOW SHE IS MARRIED AND HAVING A BABY...WOW, WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?

    PERFECT choice!! I love Fig Tree as well and it's going to be so fabulous for your niece. I just have to know if you're machine or hand piecing this? LOL! You amaze me so curious minds need to know, ha. Can't wait to see progress and the finished beauty!

    I recently finished making all my blocks for this quilt. It is easy to do even though it does not look that way when you first see the pattern picture. How many blocks do you need to make for the baby quilt size?
