I lied, this actually isn't really my quilt....I did quilt it, but my daughter's mother-in-law - Michelle - pieced the top and sent it to me to quilt it. Since it's for my daughter it kind of feels like my quilt :) There are two of these, for twin beds, and also a crib quilt that matches. They hope to start taking in foster children soon, and these quilts will be for the beds for these future children. It's going to be a very happy room!
I always take along some kind of hand work when we go on car road trips, sometimes it's applique. That's where these elephants came from. I have quite a collection of quilt squares that I never get around to doing anything with, one week I just pulled some fabric out, made a few baby quilts and took them over to the hospital gift shop to see if they would sell. Just learned this morning that two of them did! I also had a darling sunbonnet sue quilt that I guess I neglected to take a photo of (darn!)
These last two quilts are just fun baby quilts from randomly textured fabric squares. I really like the look of these types of quilts, something about them just makes me happy :) I'll probably run these over to the hospital soon and see if my luck holds again.
