Merediths second baby Quilt

I have made Meredith a baby quilt once before.

But I like making more and since she is having her third child I figured why not!

At the last shower I found out that she was partial to yellow.

I found this yellow panel in my stash.
Except it was skinny!

I was so very lucky to see the perfect blue in my stash!!!

I quilted it in large diamonds in the center and half sized ones in the border

fun backing

 I wasnt able to be at her baby shower but met her a week later in hosting another friends shower so I was able to give it to her then!

Brendyl's baby quilt quilt

Prepare yourselves....

There is a slew of baby showers so you all can see some of what I have been working on. 

+Brendyl Smith and +Bryan Smith had their baby shower last Saturday. 

They have 2 little boys and now is having a girl! So she got a lot of pink things.

I didnt know she was naming the baby Eleanor (Ellie for short) when I picked out this fabric. 

(i think of elephants with that name for some reason- maybe the "e" in common)

Then I couldnt decide how to quilt it so +Dave DeBaeremaeker suggested I quilt around the elephant. 

And then I echo quilted inside of the elephant and did some straight line box things for the rest.

I think she was happy to get a quilt from me
