I am linking a special quilt to the Festival. It was a baby gift for a newborn girl, Lucy. I had the honor of holding Lucy's mother when she was a newborn. And Lucy's grandmother and I have been friends for 44 years...since her hubby and mine were college roommates!
There was a theme for this quilt...this adorable bedroom designed and painted by Lucy's grandmother. It is shown here as the painting was in progress.
The other elements of this theme that I had to work with was a crib set picture from Pottery Barn Kids catalog and this sheet.
There was some fussy cutting and some improv designing (from me, a person who sometimes plans and organizes things to a fault.)
I made a little pillow to match the quilt!
In the end, I was pleased with the results and the recipients seem to be pretty happy too!
