Emily Patricia's Baby Quilt

This is another quilt using the Crazy 8's pattern. It is the same pattern as Abigail's quilt, except this is a true Crazy 8's. I used 8 FQ's to make this one :-). It's a great way to use FQ's in two or three colour families. I've had the green striped fabric for a long time and it just never matched anything else. Finally, it worked for this quilt. I got it from a pen pal from Australia once. Here is the finished quilt:

I quilted it with a variegated thread with leaves, flowers and bees...fun to quilt these quilts because you have squares to aim for and don't have to plan out the quilting for the whole quilt :-).


Here you can see the quilting on the back. It is quilted on my trusty Singer 15-88 treadle sewing machine made in Canada in 1951.


It even had a label!


Jenn gave me a picture of Baby Emily on her new quilt yesterday, so I thought I'd add it to the blog as well :-). Thanks Jenn!
