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
