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

I really liked the quilting on the front, but then I saw the back, WOWZA-they look like they could jump right off the minky!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt! It's so happy; just perfect for a little girl. Of course, I think the quilting is fabulous! Merry Christmas to you and your family, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteMinky 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. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect, sweet, soft quilt for new Arabella! Your quilting is definitely bubbly :)
ReplyDeleteHow are you getting those cool icons in your blog post title? They are so fun!
I always wonder if people use batting when they use Minky. I see that you did. Wow!! The Minky with the batting and the quilting just POPS!!
ReplyDeleteI have not seen dresdens made with novelty fabric before. What a lovely variation.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful quilt for Arabella - and your beautiful quilting makes it so lovely! Merry Christmas to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a Dresden Plate with the star in the middle. Love it! So will little Arabella!
ReplyDeleteLove 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.
ReplyDeleteIsn't the center of those Dresden Plate so lovely as they form a star in the middle? Nice....sigh....
