Bela's Quilt top is finished


Natalie and I found this cute pattern called "Dolly Claire" by Karen DuMont of KariePatch Designs. She asked me to make it for Bela. So after having the pattern for a while Grandma and I decided to get it started. We started Bela's quilt by cutting all the flowers out. With a trip to Texas coming up I felt a little pressed to get it going!
Once I got to Texas I appliqued all the flowers.
Then came cutting and sewing to finish the rest of the quilt. I just love the pattern and the fabrics. They make me smile and think happy thoughts!!!
Natalie and I found pillows for $3 each so I am made a matching pillow for Bela's bed. Here it is.
I just followed the feel of the quilt top to design this pillow.
Now the question is what is the best way to quilt this? Any ideas? I love getting the tops done but I have no idea how to actually finish them.

Memory Quilts

Natalie made these two memory quilts for Victoria. A while back we found this cute minkie quilt idea and I did a post about it. They originated at Joel and Laurie Dewberry's blog.

This one is for Peyton with it's cute original butterflies.
This one is for Seth with this cute monkey.

Quilt idea for Victoria

Imagine this in your colors with circles of the feature fabrics and a border of the stripe. What do you think? Can you see it?
It could be a fun thing to do on the bumper pads too. Just a thought.
