Toddler Blocks

Merry Christmas!  On a special day I thought I should share a special quilt.

This is another quilt for the Empress.  I made this before we knew the age or gender of the child we would adopt.  It's hard to find gender neutral fabrics for toddlers!

It's a twin sized quilt and I sent it out for quilting.  At the time I didn't have the confidence to quilt something that large at home.

Recently we bought the Empress a day bed and this quilt is just a little too big.  It would have been perfect for a regular twin bed.  Add one more project to the todo list....

I completed this quilt in 2014.  I finally found the time to photograph it.

Baby Stripes

This cute little quilt belongs to the Empress Charlotte.

This is one of my first improv quilts.  I cut the fabrics into strips and played around on the design wall until I found a design I liked.  I was in a hurry so the machine quilting (with walking foot) was simple.

It was made in 2014 but I haven't had time to photograph it until now.  It has held up well to washing I think!

The Empress has almost outgrown her toddler bed so it's time to replace it with a twin.  If I listen to her input the new quilt will feature Star Wars, football and Batman :).
