the new grandbaby has not arrived yet so I have had time to finish up some things for her. I am a member of a private internet forum where several members including my daughter share craft ideas. When I learned that my daughter was going to have a baby I secretly asked the members to send me a quilt block made from their favorite craft medium (some are quilters, oters are embroiders and some are wonderful painters). About 5 members took part and sent me blocks. The blocks came in all different colors and sizes, and even received some fat quarters of fabric. With the blocks I made these gifts for my daughter and her new baby on behalf of the 5 forum members and myself.
Some of the quilt blocks had to be made larger, so I added small frame borders to them and some blocks were able to be trimmed to a size which fit. I added a tone on tone pink fabric as a sashing and then dug through my stash to find a fabric which would be a blender to bring all the fabric colors together.
I had some blocks which I just could not figure out how to incorporate into the quilt because of the color. So for these blocks I added another similar sized block with a letter of the baby's name and made soft baby blocks:
And finally with some of the extra fabric and blocks I received I made these two burp cloths:
