Baby Quilt Experiment

I've been in love with this fabric for over a year, and finally decided to buy it as part of my baby quilt experiment.  So I picked up a nice darker purple for the back and border.  The goal was to find out how long it would take me to hand quilt something crib sized.  It was a simple piecing job, but once the hand quilted motifs in the center were done, I decided to just do a quick machine zig-zag stitch along the border.  This one will be for sale soon.



I always think it's so weird to see quilted pieces in a picture.  The indentations look inverted unless you work on your eyes for a second.

Below is a sample from my current project.  I have lots of time for this one, its due date being in December.  I'm not sure I've ever loved a project so much.  I'm in love with the colors, and the design when combined with the fabric choices.  This is for a client, and I dearly hope they enjoy the finished product as much as I am enjoying working on it.
