Baby quilts

Here are pictures of the quilt I finally finished. I started this thing about 8-10 months ago (long before I even knew I was going to have a baby). And now it's DONE!

I have been making quilts for my friends who have had babies and I decided that this one would be mine. I started with those iron-on transfer things that you can embroider on. Since this one was going to be for us, I picked little boys and little girls and made the little boys with red hair and green eyes and the little girl with brown hair and green/brown eyes. Once I finished embroidering, I pieced them all together with fabric and then hand-quilted- thus the very, very long delay on putting this thing together. Next time- machine quilt.

Anyway, yesterday I finally got to put the ribbon on and finish the blanket!

I also made a little blue teddy bear blanket this weekend. It was much easier because there was not embroidering involved and as I said earlier- machine quilt.

I hope you enjoy the pictures. I really had a fun time making these blankets.
(as you might have guessed, I'm not so good at adding pics, so there is one at the top and the rest follow the text). :)
