Baby Quilt Completed

My crafty sister-in-law Alyson completed the baby quilt we were giving to my cousin who just had her baby. I wanted to embroider her something and then I asked Alyson to finish it for me :) haha, because she ended up doing all of the hard work. She is so good at this quilt stuff!! I think she said baby quilts weren't so bad because they go quicker then typical quilts. We really wanted it to be simple and sweet, sorta modern and one she can actually use.

I finally saw my cuz' today so now I can post the photos in case she decided to check the blog. She seemed really pleased to have our handy work :)

My daughter had to get in one of the photos in her Fourth of July hat.

Baby Quilt

No, I am not doing the quilt, my crafty sister-in-law is doing that part of it.... I had the bright idea after I saw this free pattern to make something for my cousin's new baby. We found out it was a boy so now we can do the baby boy thing. I bought some fabric to do a quilt ahead of time & we all thought it looked too much like a boy, so we had to wait to see what she was having, but now we are all good!

I embroidered this piece to match the fabric, using what I already had on hand. It's very pastel and not so bright, but it goes with the fabric. So now it's Alyson's turn to work her magic. I had the easy part :) Can't wait to see what she comes up with.
