Small and Precious Things....

So, I've been working on this darling quilt for the past few days for a great family who have waited a long time for the blessing of having a child.  Prayers are answered, and this lovely family needs a quilt for their crib!  Before Wednesday of this week!!

Quilting by machine certainly speeds things up!  I've done some straight line quilting in this one, and then added a few design elements.. 

The back is very nice!  Here's a picture of it again:

Darn, I guess that one's not very clear.  It is in the washing machine now, so I'll have to wait until it is dry to retake that shot!    I just love it. I love the binding- I think it looks like candy around the edge of the quilt!  I love the hearts, and I love the flower prints, but my favourite print of all, is the small green and pink polkadot fabric.  Something about it being so delicate and so understated...

hmm... lots of glare...  

I hope to be able to deliver this tonight, and maybe give them a hand in putting that crib together! 

Okay, so it just came out of the dryer and I just LOVE it!!!  Wow, it is even nicer all washed and shrunken up!  Here are some more pictures:

The blanket stitch around the heart applique, and the outline quilting around the heart.

You can see the back of the heart quilting here.  Just love this little quilt!!

Doesn't it just look cozy? 

 I'm so very excited to give this quilt away, I know that it is going to be loved!  I'm looking forward to making a great quilt someday and keeping it so I can snuggle in it and nap.  Can't wait to finish the Vanilla Frosted Triple Layer Cake quilt now...
