I just made my first baby quilt for the daughter of a good friend. This mom to be went through Kindergarten to Twelfth grade with my oldest son Michael. I wanted to make something special for her first child, a daughter. The baby's room is purple and lime green.
Here is the back. I added a strip using all the different fabrics from the front just for a little interest on the back and I machine quilted it with a zig zag pattern.
I did a meandering pattern around the boarder.
I actually used my portable design wall for the first time with this quilt. My friend Lisa over at 9patchnurse told me about it! I bought a cheap table cloth from Walmart. I picked up some of those 3M hanging hooks and woo-la! It was a HUGE help to be able to look at it from afar and see where I needed to move things around.
Thanks for stopping by!
Blessings,

I love it Kathleen! Perfect for a baby girl. Awesome design wall, hee hee.
Beautiful! I really like the back - it adds such a polished look, and makes the back beautiful too! Great job :-)
It's beautiful! You did such a great job! I just finished my first recently too, but had the help of my Aunt who's a master quilter. Man, it can be hard! :)
This quilt is so pretty and it's your first one! Amazing! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Aww beautiful! I love the colors.
