One More Giraffe Baby Quilt

Did I mention that our family added FIVE babies this year SINCE our grandson Vincent was born in September. Well, this keeps me making baby quilts for a while.

I finished this one for great-nephew Jaxson in Texas yesterday:

Yes, it's similar to the one I made great-niece Abby in Texas a few weeks ago. I had lots of fun with the appliqué and quilting...pebbles around the giraffe, geometric in the blue border and then loopy for the rest of the quilt. It will be in the mail tomorrow.

The quilt finished at 36" X 42" and the solids are Kona and all the prints are Savannah Bop by Thomas Knauer for Andover Fabrics.

Wow! It's adorable! You've got that pebble thing down pat. I want to learn to do that stitch. I love the quilts you've done. We haven't had a new baby for 3 years. I have 6 grandkids in high school now so maybe in 10 years or so? At least! Thanks for sharing your adorable little baby quilts! I love them!

Cheery wave!

So very cute! I love Thomas' fabric and have plans to use it for some bibs and burp cloths this Winter...4 babies coming in my circle this year with 2 more "hope fors" in the works so to speak! And I need to learn the peppble quilting, I am still in the straight line mode

So bright and cute! I imagine that pebble quilting is fun for little fingers to stroke.
