Big Beautiful Bug, New Granddaughter Quilt
Before leaving for Charleston for Thanksgiving, I wanted to complete our new granddaughter’s “welcome to this world” quilt. She was due the first week of December–maybe even while we were in Charleston. We were due to return December 6th.
Corinne found what would be the backing fabric when she was here this summer, and we both loved it. There was a limited amount, however, and all the internet fabric searches in the world did not turn up more of it. For some odd reason, I never did get a picture of the back of the quilt–and the fabric before I cut some of it up for the front. Here is a BIG picture of part of the front, and you can see the fussy-cut featured bug fabric, combined with lively, bright prints.
Here is border detail:
And, here is the finished quilt:
This is a pattern I clearly love. I’ve used it three times now. One for my great-niece Fiona Whittle, and once for my daughter-in-law, Tamara Kelly Enright. Each quilt is uniquely different.
