Sweet Quilt for My Sweet Niece


My sister is having a sweet baby girl in November. I am so excited to have a little niece finally. I have an adorable nephew from my other sister and now I'll get a niece. My sister doesn't like pink so coming up with quilts that had little pink and that were still girly was fun.

I fell in love with the Katie Jump Rope fabric from Moda and was so excited when I found a charm pack at a quilt shop. I paired each charm with an off white to make 2 half-square triangles and put each set of HST together to make diamonds. The back and the border are Soiree by Moda. I love the polka dots!

Below are pics of the quilting I did. I am getting a little bored of meandering and straight stitching. I decided to branch out and tries loops. I LOVE IT!!!! For the border I did curved lines with circles along the way and a circle in the corners.




Overall this quilt is a hit in my house. My hubby loved it so much he said I should keep in case we have another one soon. If I kept every quilt I made and loved we would have to have 10 more kids!
