The basic design is a combination of two ideas I saw online. I made a few changes, of course. My over-sized pinwheel has soft interfacing to give the pieces body which helped with the name embroidery, too. Look at those fun flaps!
The center circle has a quote from Shakespeare: "Though she be but little, she is fierce." Why? Because I like the idea of raising daughters to be independent and fierce.
I found "Agnes" ribbon on eBay--what??? Can you believe that? What are the chances of finding that name on anything?
Rather than wrap the quilt, I just tied on the ribbon.
Best part: I actually got photos of the lovely lady on her quilt. With all the baby stuff I've made over the years, this is the first time someone has sent a photo of the item in use. Here's the lovely little lady sitting on her new blanket.
Love those little fingers and toes.
Mix equal parts of cute + fierce ... the result is Miss Agnes! Is it wrong that I want to tickle those little feet and pinch those chubby (delicious) cheeks? She looks particularly fetching on ... Grand-godmother (?!) 's adorable quilt!
ReplyDeleteThe pinwheel flaps are a fantastic idea!!! An absolutely adorable quilt. Agnes' parents must be thrilled with it. Perfect way to wrap the quilt with Agnes ribbon, too.
