Baby Quilts x 3

A few weeks ago my niece had a baby girl.  So of course I just had to make a quilt for the new baby.  




I decided to cut into a special piece of fabric I'd bought two years ago at our Symposium in Lower Hutt.  It was 

Homeward by Monika Forsberg for Anna Maria Horner Conservatory by Freespirit Fabrics.




But I didn't really do the maths first and I ended up with left over squares.  So I decided to make a little dolly quilt for the baby's almost two year old big sister. 



But then I still had more feature blocks left over, so I made a whole new quilt for the big sister.  



So what started out as one quilt for a new baby, ended up as three quilts for both girls and a dolly.





They have received them now and are thrilled with them.  The dolly quilt has had a lot of use already.
