I Didn't Forget you!

If your Nana is a quilt maker,

then everyone should have at least

one special quilt  made just for them.

Right?

Well, I can finally say, I've done that.

This little sweetie pie

has a finished quilt just for her.

"Springtime in the Rockies"

The simple snowball block

was my leaders and enders project last year.

My color palette came from

the beautiful flowering crab apple

trees that you see covered with blossoms 

in the spring,

the delicate pinks,

creamy whites,

springtime greens

and the rich brown branches.

Of course, here in Colorado,

the spring time snows can eliminate 

those blossoms rather quickly.

The combination of those

ideas brought this quilt together

just for this little Colorado girl.

The 4 inch  blocks were laid out
 alternating a 

light center with dark corners
 and a dark center with light corners.

I machine quilted it

simply by outlining the blocks

and then adding a flower in all of the pink centered blocks.

I used a light pink 28 weight
Aurifil  thread.
Love that thread.

The borders

were pink tumblers

quilted with hearts.

The binding included a little

spring green flange, just as a reminder that

spring will come.

There's no way I could have forgotten

this little one,

but quilts take time to

stitch all that love into them.

Until Next Time-

Kyle
