I have been busy finishing up this baby quilt for my cousin who is expecting a baby girl this weekend.
I have had a charm pack of each of Aneela Hoey's first three collections (Sherbert Pips, Little Apples, and A Walk In The Woods) for a while now. I knew that I wanted to combine all three collections since I think they look so nice together. I also knew that I wanted a pattern that would leave the charm squares largely intact, but something a little more interesting than just patchwork squares. So this is what I came up with.
I am really pushing myself on the quilting. One of the main reasons that I bought my new machine was to improve my quilting, so I better actually work at it.
Lately I have been totally inspired reading Angela Water's blog and her book. All three of the quilting designs I am using in this quilt come from her book.
