BABY QUILTS

A friend is expecting twin granddaughters at the end of the year, and has ordered both cot quilts and a floor quilt.  She's been very easy to please and had no particular requirements for the design or colour.

I found a lovely easy cot quilt pattern through Etsy called Leafy Treetops by meags & me.  I made two with the same material but I quilted different designs on each.








For the floor quilt, I chose an Elephant design that I found on Pinterest by  Susan Lawson.   I decided to use  a mix of cotton fabric and a soft Minky fabric.  

I played around with the layout until I was happy with this design.

Lucky for me, I have just purchased a Brother Scan N Cut so this made the elephant applique even easier to do.





Plenty of ruler work on the squares and lots of free motion on the elephant blocks.





Finally the finished quilt off the longarm, only needs to be bound with a yellow binding.
