"Sweet Vintage Bunny" Baby Quilt

Tiffany, a really sweet friend of mine, was having her first baby - a sweet little girl!  A week and a half before her baby shower, I was debating what to get her for her gift.  I felt like the typical diapers, outfit, and toy gift was so impersonal, but I wasn't sure if I had time to make a quilt!  Finally, I just decided that I was going to make her a quilt.  I sent her a message to find out how she and her husband were decorating the baby's room.  pale pink, light grey, and vintage bunny - ahhh, so adorable, but really hard to find!  So I went to my trusty sewing friends.  One awesome friend mentioned a line a fabrics that was the most adorable... and perfect!  The next day, I ordered the fabric bundle. The fabric arrived on a Wednesday and the shower was on Saturday!  I decided on a simple design and started cutting the fabrics! Unfortunately, some the fabrics that I ordered for the sashing and the binding did not match at all when I layed them out!  I went to my stash and luckily found matching fabrics.  I even had enough!  I worked for the next few nights to get it finished.  But as luck has it, my son was sick the day of the shower, so I was only able to stop in for about half an hour on my way to the store for medicine! Tiffany and her husband loved the quilt!  I hope their sweet baby girl spends many years snuggling up in the quilt!

"Let's Go" Baby Quilt

This quilt was made as a donation for a raffle for a friend whose husband died unexpectedly.  My friend was a stay-at-home, homeschooling mama to her amazing daughter.  In an instant her life turned upside down and she became the sole provider for her family.  A group of my friend donated items to be raffled with the proceeds going to our friend.  This is the quilt I made for the raffle.
