pinwheelpalooza | a quilt for Vera

 

I lived in the same dorm as Kristin my freshman year of College at URI and eighteen years later she asked me to make a quilt for her son Silas. Three years after that I found myself making a quilt for her daughter Vera! Kristin wanted something classic that Vera would like now and also as she grows through the years. She sent me a photo of the rug in Vera's room and I tried to pull all the colors from that design. We decided on a offset pinwheel pattern with creamy white solid sashing and borders to keep the quilt more subdued. And because I know Vera loves cats and unicorns and other cute things I made sure to include lots of fun little surprise fussy cuts all over! I think the quilt fits in quite nicely with the rest of the decor in Vera's room and hope she enjoys it for years to come. 

L-O-V-E you too | a quilt for Iris

My friends Emily and Steve were expecting their second baby close to my birthday and I was realllly hoping for a birthday twin but I didn't expect her to actually be born on May 24. Surprise! She was! So Iris is my new favorite baby and I think we'll share a special bond forever. It helps that I think her quilt is one of the best quilts I've made in a long time so we've gotten off to a fabulous start!
