Hi friends!
Just a quick little post to share a quilt I recently finished. This one is for a very special little baby in my life named Ava.

I chose the color palette to coordinate with her room based on the pictures her mom showed me while they were still expecting. It’s all very soft and floral and pretty. I don’t usually work with subdued colors, so this was a nice change for me!
When I was trying to decide on the pattern to use, I just kept coming back to a super simple, classic, checkerboard patchwork. I wanted that old-fashioned, ‘grandma’s quilt’ feeling.

The double almond shape in the quilting design also helps give it that classic feeling.

And of course, I chose a striped binding!

Sweet Ava’s big brother happened to be at my house when I took this quilt out of it’s first washing, so I made him be the one to hold it up for photos. My kids were happy to get a break from quilt-holding!

I hope she will get lots and lots of years of soft snuggles out of this quilt!
And I also hope you all are doing well. It’s been a long time since I’ve checked in! My arthritis has really slowed down my sewing, but I do have a few more finished projects to show you soon.
Happy sewing! ~Lorinda
Love love love. Beautiful colors, low the quilting. Very special piece of love for a special little girl.

It looks beautiful and snuggly. I’m sure it will be well loved; how awesome that her brother was there when it came out of its first wash, too.

Thanks, Yvonne! I wanted it to be super soft and snuggly for her. I talked to her mama yesterday and they are thrilled with it. 💕

Love the quilt, and the quilting pattern is great. Curves on squares is always a winning combo, and I’m always looking for new ideas for charity quilts.
