The first baby quilt was for Allison and John's new baby, Taylor. I had picked up a kit at The Quilt Kitchen in Exeter in the spring. I had to cut the striped fabric along the short side of the FQ's to make the stripes go across the strips instead of lengthwise. I did have more fabric of three of the stripes, and managed to make the fourth one work with leftover pieces. It love the way it turned out...happy 😀.

I quilted this one with diagonal lines along the seams |
Found a Tula Pink backing for it which had all the colours in it. |
The second quilt was the last of the One Block Wonder quilts using the Dr. Suess book panel. The other two quilts can be seen here and here. This one was for Leda and Mike's baby, Colton. Leda can read Spanish so I managed to find "Green Eggs and Ham" in Spanish to add to the gift.

This one was quilted with straight lines across the quilt |
Loved the individual blocks that came out of the hexagons |

I quilted it all over with a floral pattern on my vintage Bernina 830. |

I really like the Dr. Seuss quilt. I need to make 4 baby quilts in the Spring.
