# FAMILY

# FAMILY

# FAMILY was a special project for my neice Melanie and her family.   Some of the fabric was used to decorate the hall for their wedding ... not quite sure how long ago that was :)   Anyway, after the reception was finishing up I decided to gather up what fabric I could and use it in a future quilt for the family.

Most of the blocks are 12 inch and from Lori Holt's "Spelling Bee" and " Farmgirl Vintage,"  with a few 6 inch blocks as well:

Hand quilted with regular quilting thread and perle cotton.

....and finally gifted.

It started as a frugal plan to do some scrapbusting with a future boy quilt in mind.  Lots of 9 patches were made in green and blue.

Tiring of that....  some alternate blocks for a change of scenery at the sewing machine.   So hourglass blocks were made:

.

Also I added  4 1/2 inch squares of some yardage.

Then to personalize it:

Some monkeys at the wheel:

And some frogs:

... and of course a name:

Hand quilted overlapping circles with a light grey quilting thread in the centre and red perle cotton in the outer areas.

Backed with a repurposed flannel sheet.

Named,washed and ready for gifting.

This one's for  my nieces son who recently became a big brother.
