Ava’s Quilt

We are having a bit of a baby explosion in our extended family.  On February 9th we welcomed Ava Nicole.  I thought they were due in March so I had some time to spare.  I was so sure that they were having a boy that I had started on a masculine quilt.  When we got the call that Ava Nicole was born, I had to switch to baby girl mode.  I just love this fabric from Bonnie and Camille called “Vintage Modern” and thought it was perfect.  I’ve never played with a drunkards path block so that was my inspiration.

I had some fun free motion quilting it to enhance the shapes.

  11. What a fantastic quilt! I would be hard pressed to choose between the fabrics and the quilting. I am absolutely certain that this one will be loved for a long, long time. Little Ava Nicole is one lucky little girl!

  12. Baby’s are special, but I’m not so sure I would do a Drunkard’s Path for ANY baby! Wow! Most babies I sew for generally always get a far less complex quilt! šŸ˜‰

    I love this quilt and the fabrics you chose, but I feel I must correct you. This fabric is not called Scrumptious. It’s Bonnie Camille’s Vintage Modern fabric, a personal favorite of mine.

  14. Such a beautiful quilt for a baby girl. Congratulations to her Mum and Dad on her arrival.
    Thank you or linking up with Free Motion Mavericks!
    Love, Muv
