Embroidered Animals Quilt

I am so excited to finally show you my daughter's quilt that I completed. It measures 44 x 44, a little smaller than I wanted but you never know until you are done. I had such a fun time embroidering the animals, I love to embroider!



My mom showed me how to do bias strips for the binding and we combined all of the reds that I used in the quilt for the binding. I love it.



I am so glad that my mom helped me to hand sew the quilt it looks so professional, much better than it would have looked had I quilted it on the sewing machine.





This was the first time I used a quilting frame, it really helps but it is alot of work to get it set-up.

Inspiration

I have been wanting to make a quilt for my daughter for along time and have had many ideas, but it has never happened. Finally I was inspired by a quilt I found on a quilting blog. I am going to make it for one of her Christmas presents, she loves blankets. I called my mom to have her help me think of the best way to go about it, since I do not have a pattern just a picture. I am even going to attempt to "free hand" embroider. I haven't done that since Junior high, which was a long time ago. I am so excited to start and see how it all goes, especially the embroidery part. I am a little scared to draw what I want on the material, hopefully I won't suck. You will have to wait until I am done to see it but, here is just a peek:



I just love the red and turquoise combo.
