Baby Quilt

In less than one month, there will be a new addition to my husband's family.  My niece Ximena Sarahi will be born.  I have created a beautiful quilt for her to snuggle up with for many years to come.  I decided not to go with the traditional pastel baby colors, as I was wanting to create something she would want to use for a long time.  My inspiration was the apple border print which happened to match perfectly with the 31 Gifts, Apple Blossom print.  I figured this would make the perfect gift for my niece.  I began collecting fat quarters in many bright coordinating prints.  I love the fun bright design and it was such an easy pattern by Thimble Blossoms.  I machine pieced and machine quilted this design.  After completing the piecing, I wanted to keep this creation for myself since I loved it so much! I hope Ximena loves it as much as I do!
