Baby Quilt for Madeleine & Her Two Fathers

Here's a lovely baby quilt I decided to make an old friend's new daughter.  I got carried away among the Pinks I had in my Fabric Stash.  Don't know a lot of babies or have much novelty fabrics for kids.  During Covid, I haven't been buying fabrics, I'm working with what I already have at home.

    

Hard to imagine I had so many Pinks in my Stash, was kind of surprising to find that.  I have since finished this Quilt, just haven't uploaded its pix yet. 

"Who Knew I Liked Orange?"

Here's a recent finish, to be donated to Charity. I made it for an online auction to be held by my Quilt Guild, Empire Quilters.

I designed this inspired by these strip pieced portions of yellow & orange strips I'd found.  There were two of them, already assembled full Width of Fabric as quilters say (approx 42-44 inches for American fabrics &/or quilting cottons). I needed to figure out what to do with them, as a jumping off point in designing something.

So I chopped them up & I assembled these two types of blocks, deciding to alternate them with solid blocks of the multicolored foliage fabric. 

Added another couple of rows top & bottom in related orange (seemingly bright & happy).

On a Bench in front of my Home.  A very satisfying project, which went together pretty quickly.
