This is the quilt I just finished for our baby bug who is celebrating her first birthday this weekend.
I made the top with a jelly roll, already cut strips in a technique I posted about a while back. Unfortunately, I can't find it on my own blog. Just can't remember when I made it...oh well.

I machine quilted on every other strip in the ditch and backed it with some
cozy flannel I've been saving for a rainy day. Sometimes it takes a while but
I eventually use everything I buy.
I used a bright green for the border and finished it by hand. Ready just in time for a celebration for cozy flannel I've been saving for a rainy day. Sometimes it takes a while but

our dear little great niece!
The tree and all decorations are down and I am mulling about some changes to make around here
for a lift from the January blahs. How are you perking up your home now that the sparkle is packed away for another year? Do tell...
Have a great weekend...was that a week we just had? I guess we'll get back to normal next week. Take care my friends, and thank you for all the kind comments.

That is beautiful! Your baby love will love it!
What a cute quilt, home made ones are the best! My kids still have all the blankets they were given as babies! Just a tip, if you "tagged" your posts with words like "quilt", "jelly roll technique", etc. you could go into your blogger dashboard "Posts" section and plug in the words and do a search. Then all your posts with those words in it will come up! I've used that feature quite a bit over the past few years! :)
Such a sweet quilt for your neice. Happy Birthday to the birthday girl.
Just got decorations down.....now they need to go into storage downstairs. I'm moving like a snail right now.
Perk? Normal? Penny, it just looks bare and all the “stuff” I moved to make room in the sunroom for Christmas seems to have found a permanent place. We LIKE cluttered. Your quilt is wonderful. Your great niece is a lucky one to have you in her life. Enjoy your weekend.
So pretty, I hope your great niece enjoys snuggling with it.
All the glitz and glitter is tucked away for another year at the Irish House . . . I am so happy Mr IGH willingly hauls all those boxes down, then up after decorated and then down again and back up again when everything is packed back up!!! I think I have scaled back but I am not sure!!!
