This is the disappearing four patch quilt and pillow
I don't normally wash things after making them but as this was for a baby I threw everything in the washing machine and it came out nice and soft. I love the crinkle effect.
This was my first proper attempt at hand applique. I was in such a rush that I just did it as I though it should be.
I don't know if I'm a slow sewer or not but the stitch in the ditch quilting took me 15 hours which I did all in one day. Phew!!!!!!!!! And that didn't include the pillow.
The back of the pillow is an envelope style.
And here are a some photos of the cute baby girl. She's 5 days old here. I've put my watermark on these photos but she certainly isn't my creation. LOLL
Babies grandpa made her crib, cot and wardrobe. Well done grandpa. He also made a changing unit with draws but I didn't get a photo of that.
This little girl has more shoes than I do and she can't even walk yet. LOL
Sorry about the heavy photo post and thanks for stopping by.

Dear MAria,
ReplyDeletethis Quilt is beuatiful! I love the colours and the fabrics! Such a great and wonderful work!
Cute Baby, so lovely pictures, also from her Wardrobe and Bed :O)))
Have a lovely day,
Big hugs to you,
Claudia
I love those hearts on the pillow and quilt, they're really cute!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe her grandpa made that cot and wardrobe, he's one super talented man, they look amazing! She's very lucky to have such skilled people in her life :)
What a beautiful cot quilt and pillow, I like the design, I like the colors and effectively after washed in the machine, the crumpled that remains is beautiful. The hearts that you did, in appliqué, are perfection, really adorable.
ReplyDeleteMaria, what a beautiful creation you have done, it is certain that the person who has received this gift,is in love with this quilt.
Nice job!!!!! It took hours of work, but worth it!!!

Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI like the colours and the hand appliqué is very sweet.
Your friend is very lucky.
The quilt an pillow are beautiful and I especially like the little added touch of the hearts, so sweet. And speaking of sweet, that little baby is so darling, but all babies are, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwwwwwwwww it's been a very long time since I made anything that small and sweet and precious - what a darling! The quilt and pillow are beautiful - after 15 hours of quilting your shoulders and neck must have been on fire! I love D9P blocks (also called 9-4 blocks) - they start out looking one way, and with a few cuts and seams, they become something totally different - I love that!
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt and the pillow. Great choice of fabric and pattern for the baby.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine sitting and sewing for that length of time...my boys would starve. lol
GORGEOUS work Maria! Your fabric choice is perfect....as is your stitching.....but how on earth you can sew for that many hours in one day?......I would be so stiff I couldn't move and my family would STARVE and so would I! LOLLLLL Oh and that IS one clever grandpa......
