🍼 Arabella's Quilt 🚼

Michele made this sweet baby quilt for her newborn granddaughter, Arabella. Isn't that a beautiful name!


It's a Dresden plate quilt made with adorable animal prints and coordinates:



Michele wanted something "bubbly" for the quilting so we went with "Marmalade". I love how the quilting looks on Minkee backing:

Beautiful, fun, happy quilt, Michele! And welcome to Arabella!!!

Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

  4. Minky backing is the best! Marmalade looks great, too. I love her fabrics with the animals to find. And you're right, Arabella is such a pretty name. :)

  10. Love your quilting! I featured it today on Finished or Not Friday. I also float my quilt tops and have removed the quilt top bar because I don't use it. This makes it much easier to smooth out the batting and quilt top.

  11. Isn't the center of those Dresden Plate so lovely as they form a star in the middle? Nice....sigh....
