A Quilt for Ellie

A Quilt for Ellie - Peacock Lane

Just a couple of short weeks ago some very dear friends of ours adopted the most perfect baby girl. Her name is Ellie. I made her a selvage to selvage strip quilt in the turquoise, yellow and gray prints from Peacock Lane. You can't see it in any of the photos that I took, but I used free motion quilting to quilt her full name, her birthday and the "label" into her quilting. The rest of the quilt is quilted using straight line quilting.

    1. Ahhh! Thank you so much Greg. I'm super jealous Justin gets to see her more than I do. I'll have to do some coordinating to get in on some baby snuggling soon.
