Commission – Baby Quilt

A local lady asked me to use her grandmother’s embroidered linen and my usual style to create two quilts.

This one is for a baby. Her grandmother had created 7 nursery rhyme pieces that seemed perfect for a baby.

Since the baby is named Ford, we discussed adding trucks to the quilt.

Baby Ford’s parents are journalists so I used a text print for the trucks and the sashing.

The quilt is backed with this Dr. Seuss print, quilted with concentric squares and bound with rainbow stripes.

I call this quilt Newspaper Trucks and measures approximately 45” x 50”.

  1. Very nice soft colours. Congratulations on being early with your blkcos. I’m always trying to catch up but being part of this blog helps a lot, very encouraging. I like seeing the fabrics that everyone else has chosen and how different each quilt looks.
