Blogger's Quilt Festival

I was hoping to have my gray and yellow quilt finished for the Blogger's Quilt Festival--as you can see that did not happen! But I was having a lot of fun looking at everyone else's quilts, so I decided to go back in the archives and pull out... the first quilt I made! It's not perfect, but it is still my favorite (so far).


I made this quilt for my best friend when she had her baby this past March. The colors are her choice and match the nursery. She didn't know I was making her a quilt, and she was so excited! Judging by the frequency with which it shows up in pictures of the baby, I think it was a hit.


The back is flannel, as I remember my own quilt from childhood having a flannel back and loving my "fuzzy quilt." I hope that little E (and her mama!) will enjoy her quilt for many years!

    That is a great quilt! I love the colors! I also really like using flannel for the backing - especially for baby quilts.

    This is such a great quilt. The colors are perfect and this pattern is great. I love how good it feels to see something you made for someone special show up in so many pictures. I am sure it will be loved for years to come.

    Such a pretty quilt. I love it!
    Did you use a pattern or make up your own design?

    This is really pretty and extra special since it was your first! I cherish my first quilt and since it was a gift to my husband, I'm lucky enough to still have it!
