It lifted my heart to give my 18 month old God-daughter, Elsie a quilt. It will share her bed and hopefully keep her warm this Winter.
I sewed it in the Shabby Linen quilt style. I made a similar one using French linen in 2011 you can see here .
The fabric is a devine range by Moda Bunny Hill Designs called Putting on the Ritz . I adore the crown fabric. The pink fabric range I used for the front and the grey version as the backing. I think this fabric gives this quilt the modern touch.
I bought this range as 10 inch Layer Cake in pink and grey so I only had to cut out the wadding and binding which made for a relatively quick sew-up.
Today I am linking this post to the Linky Party Handmade Monday at Handmade Harbour.
Thank you for strolling down my garden path...

It's beautiful, Jan. We still have the blanket you embroidered for Alex, another of your god-daughters!
Oh Jan, that is so lovely and will be treasured, a gorgeous special gift.
A real treasure Jan! The quilt is beautiful!
What a lovely quilt! The fabric looks beautiful, and I love the style you've used.
I really like the style of the quilt you have made. I have not seen one like this before. Definitely one to keep!
What a lovely quilt for your daughter! It will be treasured by her for a long time to come. I've been looking through your blog -- I love your Dimensions Noah's Ark! And that Bothy Gypsy Caravan -- I hadn't seen that one before! Love it! Great choice!!
Pretty quilt! I love that style and color combination. :)
It's so pretty! I went back and looked at the French linen one you made, which is absolutely gorgeous. I have no idea how to quilt, so I'm a little in awe! :D
The quilt looks lovely and all snuggly too.
A very lovely quilt. I hope she treasures it for years.
Absolutely lovely!! I am in love with this look and the colors!!!
