Baby Quilt

1 hour old

This is my new Niece, Sidney Ava, my sisters new baby! I was so lucky to be there when she was born. And it's exciting to have a new baby in the family. She's so adorable and good to be passed around from Aunt to Aunt to Grandma to cousin to sister...

This photo is my daughter, Riley, meeting her new cousin for the first time(1 week old). Yesterday I finished and delivered her baby quilt. I've been working on it for a few weeks. The fabrics came from Hobby Lobby. Very bright and bold but they called to me. I'm already thinking of whats next that I can make for her.

It's machine pieced, hand quilted, machine bound. Finished July 29th. I was nervous of using straight pins, when I started making this. I had accidently left a pin in the purse that I made for my mom...she brought it back to me and said that she had jabbed herself but it was sewn into the bag. So I made the quilt with safety pins instead of straight pins. I still felt over every bit of the quilt because I had used a hand needle to do the quilting...just to be safe
