Green and white baby quilt: Almost done!

 Hello and welcome to my quilt blog!  I have been working away at this Green and White baby quilt, because the baby is due Jan. 24 2024 - but we know babies come on their own schedule.

The beginning of the project is described HERE.

I managed to get the 4 by 5 foot quilt to my long armers and she was able to fit it in.  Her Christmas rush was over.

Here is a view of the top:

Straight furrow setting.  And a close up:

Reproduction fabric - I have a lot of it!  Green and white are the colors of the nursery.  The quilt is back from the quilter's today, quilted with hearts and swirls.

Now for trimming and binding.  The quilt will go with the new grandma and grandpa as they travel to be with mom and dad for the birth.

Green and white baby quilt start

 Good day, and welcome to my blog!

A new addition to the extended family is due later in January to my nephew and his wife.  I have started a project in the colors of their nursery.  And since I have the log cabin pattern on my mind,  I started green and white blocks:

In reproduction fabrics - I have a lot in my stash.  Logs finish at 1.5 inches, the block is 12 inches, finished.  I like the look of 4 together:

But I suspect I will set the blocks in the straight furrow setting.  I have 20 blocks for a 4 by 5 set.

I have fabric for the backing, which is not a reproduction fabric, but is so cute!

Now to wash the backing fabric, and push on with getting the front of the quilt done.  Then off to the local long arm quilter I have used before - she does a great job.

Vintage Thingy Thursday - baby quilt

I'm joining ColoradoLady for Vintage Thingy Thursday, with a baby quilt purchased in Ohio, and probably made in Ohio. it is 27 inches wide by 32 inches tall, not including the points around the edge. It is hand-quilted.

Each pinwheel is about 4 and 3/4 inches square, and they are made of a great variety of 30's dress weight fabrics. None has that coarse weave of feedsack. If you collect reproduction 30's fabric (Aunt Grace, etc.) and you look closely, you may recognize some designs that have been reproduced. There are also some fabrics here I wish could be reproduced! The quilting design in the alternate white squares is of a simple circle flower and two leaves. If the quilt is held up to the light, you can tell the cotton batting has shifted and bunched, though the quilt doesn't feel lumpy.

I have never added prairie points to the edge of any of my quilts but these do appear to be prairie points, though the maker probably did not call them that. They are made as shown on this About.com web page, though not overlapping as they show.

Happy VTT! and see this post for how to enter my fabric giveaway to celebrate my second blog anniversary.
