Charlotte Viktorija's Quilt: May 2023

             Charlotte Viktorija's quilt is also an "I spy" quilt (see my previous post). As I didn't know whether the baby would be a girl or a boy, I made it so that either gender would be fine.

                                        

                                        Above is a photo of the finished quilt

                    I used printed Dick and Jane fabric for the sashing and thin red stripe for the                         outer border.

Above are photos of individual blocks

Mya Jo's Quilt: April 2023

                                            Here is Mya Jo on her quilt
 

Mya Jo's Quilt is an "I spy" quilt, the first of several made this year. The basic pattern is a "square within a square" block. The central 5" square has objects in it which can be talked about and used to develop language in young children. Fabrics printed with letters and numbers are also used. The label can also be used to familiarise the child with her name in print.

 

 Whole quilt photo: I used traditional pink gingham for the sashing with a border of random leftover scraps.
