My brother and sister-in-law just had their first baby, of the girl variety. She is beautiful. She's also not really into pink, or so her hip parents tell me.

So I remembered a quilt I saw on
Kelly McCaleb's blog and was inspired to make something similar. (Kelly is very talented and even has a
pattern on her etsy site for this quilt. I highly recommend purchasing it, as it would have been much easier and less time consuming if I'd had it.)

Here's the back.

Congratulations R + J and WELCOME baby Alice! Red is the new pink.
Killer cute Sarah. When are you going to post pics of your new kitchen?
ReplyDeleteis the kitchen done? i want to see too. i have a feeling alice will adore this quilt. gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteliz and abby,
ReplyDeletestill working on final kitchen touches. soon.
kelly,
thanks for the inspiration. i don't know how you come up with such cute stuff! i'm a big fan!
nancy,
thanks. it is getting a bit awkward. mostly the cutting and laying everything out on the floor. but it's now or never, or at least "now or not for a long while."
your cutest yet!!!
ReplyDeleteLOve the quilt. To think you did it out of your own head with just a little inspiration! and in your condition! It really is very nice. Lucky new niece.
ReplyDeleteI just wandered on your blog while visiting someone's blog who had left me a comment :) I love this quilt and the one below for your sister-n-law Liz and especially the 8 ball shirt. What an awesome idea for a pregnancy tee.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
