I've got two new tops pieced and ready to quilt, but I was worn out last night after our latest episode with the bees and decided to wait and do the quilting when I'm feeling more up to it.
The blue one is another version of Laura. Those pale blue squares don't stand out nearly as much in real life as they do in the pictures. I'm already cutting pieces for a green one and a pink one, and I'm sure there will be more. Those snowball blocks and nine-patches go together so quickly and produce such cute results.
The second top is put together from blocks that were passed along to me. I wrote about those in Monday's design wall post.
Neither has a name yet -- I'm open to suggestions!
Let's Make Baby Quilts Linky Party Rules:
Link directly to your post or specific Flickr photo. Your post can be about a baby quilt that's finished, or in progress, or you can be writing about what you have planned, but it's got to be about baby quilts. While we're still gathering steam, you're welcome to link to baby quilt posts that aren't brand new, but please don't submit the same post or picture more than once. I'd love it if you linked back to my site, either with a text link or the Let's Make Baby Quilts! button.
First off I love seeing all the ideas you come up with on your baby quilts. Those two tops are darling.I have started a 9-patch in pink and white and was thinking about just putting them side-by-side. Now I may use the snowball idea. That will take less 9-patch blocks! lol
ReplyDeleteBoth of your tops are adorable (as always!) I love 9 patches with snowballs too.
ReplyDeleteFinished my first quilt in 5 years! It's a quilt for my expected granddaughter, due in November. It's a rag quilt pattern I got from Creations from Kara. I added the LSU and OU blocks because son is an LSU grad, daughter-in-law is an OU grad. It's an ongoing friendly rivalry, and family joke....
