I’m working on a quilt for one of my sweet granddaughters!
The fabric is so cute!
I’ve had it for years and when I found it this past week, I realized it would be perfect for this quilt!
I love the colors, the fabrics, (they’re so soft!).
I just love how the all look together!
I didn’t want to cut the squares into tiny pieces, so I sewed them onto 2″ strips.
I debated which pattern to use and decided to make it simple and just framed the 5″ squares:
I finished the quilt top and now am getting it ready for quilting by hand. I would do it on my sewing machine but I like the look of hand stitching and I have a hard time quilting something that large on my machine.
I can’t wait to finish it and give it to my granddaughter! 😊
Have a great weekend!

It’s going to be lovely. 🙂
Thank you! I hope she likes it 🙂
That is so beautiful – I love that kind of fabric. And I wish I hand-quilted well because it really does add to a piece. Lucky granddaughter.
🙂 Thanks, Lillian! My stitches aren’t perfect, I’m really just learning as I go, but I’ve tried before to quilt on my machine and I really don’t enjoy it because the quilt is too large to fit. I do enjoy quilting small projects on it, though.
It is so soft looking and pretty – how great for her to cuddle up in it!
The fabric I’m using for the backing is soft, also. I think she’ll enjoy cuddling up in it. 🙂
Can’t wait to see the quilting by hand. I’m just starting out. So glad to find your blog!
I’m new to it, too. I like to do it at night, while my husband & I “watch” TV. It’s relaxing and I enjoy it.
This is beautiful! I’m glad you didn’t cut up those pretty fabrics.
Thank you! Yes, they were too pretty to cut into tiny squares. Although, it’s fun to make those tiny half-square triangle blocks 🙂
So beautiful, it’s going to be a gorgeous quilt. How wonderful that you are making this for your little grand daughter, it will be something will treasure her entire life.
I hope so. Now it’s a crib quilt, later It can be a lap quilt she can snuggle up in when she’s on the sofa. I made it large enough so it can be both, or just a nice quilt to spread on the grass when she’s at the park 🙂
The charm quilt is very cute. I especially like how the turquoise blocks enhance the pastels. Another great pattern for charm squares is the “Falling Charms” pattern that Jenny Doan has a tutorial on at MSQC.
Yes, I like pretty much all her patterns & tutorials!
So lovely . . .what a blessing!
Thank you, Debbie! Hope you’re doing fine! 🙂
Daisy, this is so very pretty. I look forward to sewing for grandchildren one day.

Thanks, Wendy! Blessings to you, too! 🙂
So pretty!
Thank you! Whenever I make something, it always reminds me that God is the source of everything that’s creative in us. 🙂
Your grandchild deserves hand quilting! That’s such a pretty quilt–perfect.
Haha, you’re right about her! 🙂 I hope I can make nice, pretty stitches — I’m new to this.
She’ll think it’s perfect!
Beautiful Daisy! I love the fabrics you chose! 🙂
Thank you! It’s fun to sew together such pretty colors & fabrics 🙂
Lovely colors! So cheerful! 🙂
I didn’t want to choose too much of a “baby” theme, so that she can use it when she’s older, too. This looks girly, but not too baby-ish.
It’s perfect!
It’s looking great, looking forward to seeing it finished
Thanks, me too! 🙂
Love the window pane look — the white border around each one sets the fabrics off beautifully! So pretty!!!
It was an easy and quick way to let the fabrics shine. Now, if I could just sit down and quilt it… We’ve been sick this week…
Beautiful! I love the way you’ve let the prints show themselves off. Less is more 🙂
I agree!–Less is more!
Lovely Daisy– this is really going to be sweet when you get it all stitched up! Don’t you love hand quilting– when I pick up a quilt for one of the kids, it reminds me to pray for them a bit as I stitch. Your grand-girl is blessed to have you as her grandmother. xox
Yes! I prayed for her as I was sewing and then stitching! Isn’t it amazing how they just melt their grandparents hearts?! 😊
it’s so true.
“I’ve had it for years and when I found it this past week” – oh my gosh! That’s me you’re describing! LOL
So very soft and feminine fabrics! Perfect for a little girl! Beautiful!
