A quickie quilt

Here is an alphabet quilt I made for a church friend's second child coming soon. The first one got an "I-Spy" quilt and I often hear from the parents how much she enjoys playing with it. I thought an alphabet quilt might be just as much fun. The blue and white letters were printed on the fabric and asking to be used. I thought it might be fun to search for pictures that match a letter, like how many B words can you find?

I rotated the alphabet with at least one picture and filled the center with extra prints. The picture blocks are just quilted with hearts and the quilting outlines the letters. I have been trying to get a better picture. Today there was sun but way too much wind. I took off the side clips and took a shot at an angle while the quilt was dancing in the breeze.



I still need to add a label. then I just have to wait for the special day.

  3. I mess up my words in the previous comment!! Just as lovely as an I Spy and as a child grows, this will be enjoyed with delight for many years. Love the way the letters travel round.

  4. Oh, lovely, I can imagine the child, when they're older, crawling around, tracing the outline of letters with a small finger, and spelling out favourite words.
