A personalized little birthday present to go with the Dinosaur quilt given for Christmas.
I used Lori Holt's 6 " letter patterns and a 24" pillow form.
A repurposed flannel sheet for the back.
It warms a grandma's heart when they love these handmade, little gifts.
Maybe next time I'll be brave and attempt a zipper on the back...maybe. lol. It's been decades, maybe highschool home-ec class!!

A low volume little quilt from the book Sisterhood of Scraps. I love most of the scrappy quilts in this one and couldn't resist.

I did make it smaller than the pattern. I've been keeping my donation quilts to 40 inches wide so I don't have to piece the backings
I did use all scraps and stash, I was tempted to shop for some low volume fabric , and the final quilt would have been prettier if I had.
All in all, its a very sweet and cozy quilt.
Hand quilted in a simple grid.
42" x 54"

The first of the Itty Bitty House Quilts, I have many more 3" houses ready but here I've picked the less girly ones in hopes of it being donated to a child not into pinks and flowers.
The house pattern is one of many free 3" blocks available for free: Bitty Blocks
Hand quilted.
Stitch in the ditch around the house blocks.
Crosshatch in the inner border, using perle cotton.
Straight lines in the outer border.
A bit of a different backing, but it reminded me of the tree colour on the front so I went for it.
40" x 50"
Now to come up with a totally different layout for a girlier version!
