I don't know nuthin' 'bout birthin' no babies, but I DO know how to make quilts for them!

I realized tonight that I have not posted my quilts for this year. I have made and completed 3 baby quilts, a retirement quilt and have had a few "in process". All of my quilts are of my own design. It is part of the process that I love so much. So here they are, quilts of 2019:




Front of a baby quilt for my great nephew born in January, 2019. It was made in the colors of his parents wedding to represent their love coming together to create this beautiful new life.



Backing of same quilt.

Quilt finish number 2:


Finished in May for 2nd grand nephew born in June, 2019. A Block Sampler quilt of my own design for a baby born with the last name, Block.

Then we pop over to the Retirement Quilt!





When it first began - the first day, shall we say? I had about a week and a half to finish it, so it had to go quickly. The ties, I stole from my boss's office. He never noticed they were gone. I chose all polyester or cotton quilts so the entire quilt could be washable. I like my quilts to be USED. The giant tie in the center is made from quilting cotton in my boss's favorite colors - purple and pink.



Day 2.



Completed. For my boss who retired the end of the school year. Delivered June 6th, 2019. He wore a tie every day to school and would gift ties to kids that were exceptional examples of being a good student.

Back to baby quilts...




This one was completed and gifted in August for a baby due in October. They don't know "what" it will be yet, but will be surprised when it is born. I chose this pattern because I found it bright and cheerful and felt it was not gender specific.

Here it is when the quilting was finished:

Front.

And Back.


As I stated before, I also have some others in the works. I am hoping that I can complete some more and post them very soon.

Here is one of them. Quilt top made in same design as the "Block Sampler", just different fabrics.



Happy quilting!
