I really wish I had been able to finish the quilt I had planned to share today, buuuuuut, it wasn't in the cards. Too many sick people and too little sleep do not a happy sewer make. So here's my latest quilt finish.
I love the Blogger's Quilt Festival and so I thought I only appropriate to share my recently completed LOVE baby quilt for my sweet new little girl.
This is the first quilt that I really did all by myself. I feel like I finally have enough (even though it's still limited) experience to have made all the decisions and do all the work on this beauty. Like doing the window pane quilting.
I fell more and more in love (pun sort of intended) with this line the more I worked with it. I have a rather large stack of leftovers that I'm excited to use - I may or may not have bought more of some of my favorites. And then used them to complete her bedding.
And I've learned to really enjoy hand stitching down a pretty binding. Polka dots in the case. When has Amy Butler NOT made a cute dot print? Never. That's right.
I loved working on this quilt. It was my major project during my last few months of pregnancy, and I was able to finish it up shortly after I had the baby and moved. It was really nice to work on it while dreaming of what my new little one would be like. And again, I love that the LOVE line was used for my newest love.

'Love' this quilt. yep Amy Butler doesn't know how to design a bad spot. I used a stripe to bind my Amy Butler quilt (my festival entry). My quilt is an oldie but when you were running your Amy Butler giveaways it became obvious I should use it for my festival entry.
Perfect love for your baby girl!!!
Blessings,

Awesome quilting!! I love the window pane look, it's so simple and yet so beautiful :)
What a cute quilt! So bright and cheerful. Thanks for sharing about it.
this quilt is so colorful and fun. perfect for a baby girl!
It's beautiful! A very special quilt for a very special little girl.
Love your fabrics and your colors. Great job.

Amy I Love this quilt and the memories you made making it. your little Sweetpea will have so many great memories and they'll be sweeter cause you made them. Me and my kids were just sitting in the living room a couple days ago and they were asking about their baby quilts and who made them and what made them special. Fortunately I have been blessed with others to make my babies their quilts since I don't do that :)
One day, I can imagine you and your children having a similar conversation.
Yours was the first quilt I clicked on from Amy's blog...it is beautiful! I love the bright color combos and the Love fabric scheme. Very cute for a baby girl.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Love you made it for your baby girl. Love the colors. Love the pattern. LOVE!
Love the quilt and love even more how it looks draped over her crib! Beautiful!
you did such a good job on this one, it's wonderful.
I also had to change plans. There were 2 other possible quilts I could have finished and then I decided to be realistic. :)
Amy, I love seeing this quilt again! It's still one of my favorites!
love this quilt. simply adorable! when i give my kids quilts, i tell them it's a hug. whenever mom's not around, and they need one, just wrap up in their quilt, and it's just like getting one from mom!!
I just love the colours in this quilt. So bright and happy! Treasures like this build such wonderful memories don't they.
This quilt makes me smile! I love it. Well done. Tammy
i "LOVE" it!!! it seems like no matter how many complicated and intricate quilt patterns there are out there this kind draws me in...simple squares and easy straight line quilting. it is gorgeous.
Oh my what a beautiful quilt and a lovely sweet story. Thank you for sharing!!
Yes LOVE this quilt too right down to that cute polka dot binding! When has Amy ever done a bad print period! This quilt once again reminds that some times those somple patterns are all your need for beautiful fabrics.
Lovely arrangement of the spots and flowers.
It's a beautiful quilt, Amy! Something your daughter will treasure all her life!!
I just LOVE this quilt ;-) But seriously, I'm always surprised at just how much I love a simple patchwork quilt. I love how it lets each print shine!
Hope everyone is feeling better!
I love the LOVE quilt! You really did enjoy this entire room.
Absolutely! Her dots are one of my favorite.
Love Love Love. I love this quilt. I really want to try the windowpane quilting on my next all squares quilt. I love how it turned out on this.
Adorable! So beautiful. And I love all the extras you made for her crib. That owl is to die for! I want her! ;)
Perfect quilt for a sweet baby girl. Congratulations :)
What a sweet quilt for a precious baby girl! The colors and patterns are wonderful.
Your quilt is absolutely beautiful and I LOVE it :D ! You did a great job. I especially like the way you quilted it.

Love this sweet, happy quilt!
YUMMY!
What a beautiful quilt- and sweet story!
I love this. It's amazing for a first quilt. I did simple squares for my first and none of them lined up. Amy's fabrics are just gorgeous arent they. This will be a loved quilt forever, I'm sure.
That quilt is beautiful! I know how special it is to have your first quilt to be for your child. My first quilt was for my baby girl.
You did a beautiful job! I love the owl pillow. I've been eying that pillow at Target for my baby girl (she's due in January). I think I'm going to pick it up. It looks very cute sitting there in her crib :)
so sorry about all the sickness, hope everyone is doing better! love the quilt of course!
WOW!!!! So simple, yet truly stunning. I love your sense of style. Now I'm off to check out the rest of your blog =)

I love this quilt so much that I'm even tempted to make one for us using the fq pack of Love I just had delivered :) So "love"ly good job!!
Hope everyone's feeling better! Last fall I was feverishly trying to finish a quilt for this festival and I didn't make it either, so I completely sympathize.
But the one you've show is lovely.
Thanks for sharing! :)
Oh I LOVE it!!!! And her sweet little dust ruffle too. I made my last baby's crib set and it's just so much more special. I'm sure she will LOVE it for years to come!
Oh my goodness, will you help me make bedding for my babies when I finally have them?!?! SO CUTE!

Andi :-)
