It is funny how if you collect things that you like eventually you have enough to do a project out of them. I made two small quilts lap or baby recently. One has a
girly theme and the other a tom boy theme. I
received this fairy 6" charm in a swap and went searching for things to go with it.
This is what I came up with. I really like the
simplicity of a 4x5 -6" block quilt so I made two.
I bought some bug fabric at a garage sale and went in search:
And this is what I came up with.
This fabric was a piece left over from my oldest son's crib sheets. (
ds is 16 now boy I keep stuff a long time. But I think this proves that it is a good strategy as it suits the quilt.)
The face square was also from a swap.
I found the pig rushing home and remembered the three little
pigs and thought it would fit in a fairy quilt
I
don't Know how these guys got in here but their too cute to cut out. DH took this photo I was to chicken to be chased by their parents to get this close.
I had a scrap of this left over from another project and thought what kid wouldn't like a kitty or two on their bed.
I also thought the butterflies were nice but not too
girly in these colours
There was also a pair of owls on the tomboy quilt. I love these quilts so much I think I want to make a wall hanging from the owl one as I have yet to quilt it. The Fairy one, I use to cuddle under at the
TV. I think one day I just may have a little
gd or some special little one or two that I could let them go to. But after all
DS1 is only 16, I
Shouldn't get ahead of myself. However like the little bunny fabric things do eventually find a nice place if I keep them until they are useful.
