Quilt Shot 149~ Donna's Great Grand Baby Quilt

 

My very good friend Donna,

is getting back into making quilts.

She first made one for her Grand Daughter's wedding.

Now that Grand Daughter is having her first baby.

Donna once again,

considers herself as a beginner.

By the looks of this quilt,

to refer to an old saying, 

I think she will ride that bike soon.

She spent hours designing and shopping for this quilt top

which she cut and sewed.

Then she asked me to free hand cut the letters,

(after seeing another Harper quilt I made)

and machine applique them

using the fabric of her choice.

She then asked another friend of ours

to do the quilting and the binding.

 

 Her dream came together perfectly.

I love the border choices.

My eye is first tricked into thinking there is a

lace border

until I look more closely.

She says the next quilt she makes will be with squares.

I think that's a great way to get started back into quilting.
