Another Wednesday is upon us and I have actually been pretty productive….
I finished up one of my PHD’s (projects half done) just in time to give to my Mom for her 82nd birthday next week. It is a small lap quilt that she can use to keep cozy while watching TV or reading; or even as a table topper if she likes. I call it the Surprise Quilt; because of how it came together. I had some leftovers from my Sew Out Loud Quilt along and thought that I would use them for the back of that project. However, it is a wall quilt and you will never see the back and my hubby said that the blocks were too pretty to never been seen. So, I made a small quilt. ”Surprise!” What do you think?
Secondly, I received a happy phone call from a good friend of mine informing me that they were expecting child #4. What joyous news! I made quilts for his other babies, so of course I need to make one for this new little girl! I had a layer cake of Aneela Hoey’s “A Walk in the Woods” and thought it would be perfect. I kept the design fairly simple to let the cute fabrics shine and it is now ready to be sandwiched and quilted. I am so happy for this couple! This is how it came together…
Blocks ready for trimming
Lovely blocks
Story time block
Friendly foxes & pretty bows
Fun toadstools
Border & backing fabric
The quilt top is ready and waiting to be assembled and quilted
That’s it for this week – but I feel pretty good about my accomplishments!
Now head on over to Lee’s Freshly Pieced and see what everyone else is up to.
Until next time, Connie 
I have a stash of Aneela Hoey’s fabric and now am inspired to break it out and see what I can do with it. Thanks.
So glad you found some inspiration! I love this line – it is soooo cute. Thanks for the comment
I was very inspired with your post. I’ve nominated you for the Liebster Award. See my blog for more details.
That is such a cute quilt! You’re right, the design really does let the fabric shine!
Thank you so much – this one has be really excited. I love making baby quilts. They are such happy quilts.
Your hubby was quite right. Far too pretty to be hidden
I love all the cute prints on your second quilt too, especially the foxes. Avis x
Thanks Avis! I love these kinds of surprises.
The baby quilt is going to be adorable – I cant wait to finish it!
