More Baby Quilts -

This post is a continuation of the Lil Bear Quilts Mission started by Mary Johnson.  You can read more about Mary's contributions here on her blog  HeartStrings Quilt Project

These are 2 more tops made by other quilters and sent to me for finishing and donating.  These tops were so sweet, I felt the urge to add borders and make them baby quilt/ car seat / stroller  size.

This first lil quilt was a 16-patch made and donated by Karen O'.  Lovely colors of aqua and orange prints.


I dug in the stash to find a perfect aqua fabric for the border and some black with tiny white dots for a separating border, bringing this lil quilt to 33 inches square.  I also had a perfect gray print for the backing and black & white plaid for binding.  I free motion quilted diagonal crossing orange peels with an arc ruler and silver Omni thread.  Yes, I had a delightful time with this one.  Thank you, Karen, O'.



This lil quilt top was donated by N. Lindsey. It was so cute, I just had to enlarge this one also.  I added an orange inner border and this black swirly print for the outer border. I free motion quilted it allover with overlapping circles to mimic the border print, a solid black for the binding and silver Omni thread.  It finishes 34 x 32.  Also, thank you, N. Lindsey.



Again, I had an appropriate backing ........ Gotta love having a stash

    What a great collaboration -- people send you beginnings of quilts, or doll quilts, and you stash dive to find the perfect go withs. I'm impressed with your stash. It must be really deep. Have fun completing these quilts.
