A Couple of Baby Quilts from Rita

Rita brought me a stack of baby quilts in preparation for an onslaught of great-grandbabies on the way.

Love this sweet little rail fence baby quilt!

Thanks Rita!

DWR Guild Color Challenge

Becki made this version of a Double Wedding Ring quilt inspired by Victoria Findlay Wolfe's book Double Wedding Ring Quilts- Traditions Made Modern. This was for her quilt guild challenge where each participant was to make any type of quilt (within certain size parameters) out of black, white, and one other color determined by choosing a random crayon out of a hat. 

She got turquoise. 

I used a variegated thread that changed from white to light and then dark turquoise.

I had fun quilting this one with all sorts of random designs; sometimes quilting within the pieced elements, and sometimes not. 

I know this was a challenging quilt for Becki to make, as it was for me to quilt it!

But it just turned out so cool!

And guess what?! She won her guild challenge!! And she gave me the special handmade award ribbon to keep. (She also made ALL the award ribbons for the each category at the Show.)

Thanks Mom!!
