Sweet memories

I didn’t get a lot of quilting done this weekend, but I did put the final touches on this little quilt a few minutes before the baby shower!


This is for a very special girl, my daughter’s best friend, Somerset. She moved from Maine to South Carolina so I had to make her a quilt to make sure the baby always knows how to get back to Maine!

I love the backing fabric too. It reminded me of water. 



The chart in the center is printed on a nice quality white cotton. I wish I had bought all that they had because she doesn’t make them anymore. I could print them on fabric, but these were really well done. Always buy more than you need right? 
Enjoy your day.

  11. Loverly quilt, Wendy! I see the view of the Muscongus Bay each time I watch the osprey cam there! Wouldn't it be nice if someone printed more of those blue cyanotype images for us to use in our quilts! Love the antique ones we have seen!
