Little Bits.....: Have some fun!

Making baby quilts for me is the best!! I can do what I want, experiment with ideas, and use colour!! I'm not a grandma who would ever give a quilt that is white/grey. It needs to be lively, it has to have colour and animals???? Well, that is just a no brainer.

This quilt was made with two fabrics from a line called Farmyard Tails by Eric Sturtevant for Studio E fabrics. I bought the panel over the summer and quilted it out. (You will see that plaid fabric again in another quilt.)

I really liked the animals on this fabric for some unknown reason. They are like little comic book characters and their expressions are priceless.

The barn is big, it is red. You know that this is one very happy place for the animals.

That llama in the middle??? His name is Griz, in honour of a lovely one that lives on a fabulous farm called Green Gable Alpacas in Tyne Valley, PEI.

The lamb is a reminder of my father-in-law who raised them and pigs on his farm. He also had a horse who loved apples!

On to the new one.

Don't be afraid of colour. Colour is all around you. The sky, the flowers, the trees. It is nature at its finest.

Here we go

When finished this quilt measures 37" x 37". I was going to put a border on and then changed my mind.

The back is one large piece of the fabric from the line. Ted rather likes this one.

Look at those animals. How could you not love them.

Pull out one colour from the quilt and use that to stretch your fabrics. Usually a solid fabric is a bit cheaper than the prints. I chose Toscana by Northcott which is about $12.00M here in Canada.
