This was my first quilt after a small hiatus due to back surgery before Christmas. I had to get back into the swing of things, and while doing so I decided to try my hand at designing a quilt on my own. It needed to be very special since I was making it for my 7 year old niece. Before I sewed it and put the finishing touches on it I made sure to run it by her to make sure it was fit for a princess. I love that little girl so much. She was in love with it and couldn't wait to receive it. Her only real request was that it had pink in it so I won her heart.I did a number of different things with this quilt that I had never done before. I didn't follow a pattern and it's bigger than I'm used to sewing. I'm used to sewing blankets for baby so I needed to make some adjustments so that it was big enough for a little girl. I also created some unique squares by using different fabrics within one another. I'm looking forward to trying this more frequently with many baby and toddler blankets to come.
