Baby Quilt Finish

I cannot believe I did not take more pictures of this project! I normally take too many pictures, and this time I only have a couple of the finish. I was commissioned to make a baby quilt for my best friend to give to another one of her friends whom had a baby girl. I was told the desired colors were antique white, pink, brown and avocado green. The friends house was designed traditional with white walls so the colors could not be too bold - there ruled out my stash! 
So off to the fabric store I went in search for what I could make this baby quilt from. 
All I can show you is the finish and tell you that my friend was very pleased with it.
 I wish I had a better picture to show, you can barely make out the squares. I have already given it to my friend so there is no getting more.
 I did four different traditional blocks and laid out the pattern to have them run on a diagonal.

This care label was hand stitched and attached at the binding stage. I used a bounce sheet  to  back the label and adhered it with Wonder Under, then the binding stitches finished it off. 
Have you ever made a project and sent it away only to realize you didn't get a picture?
Cheers,
Carolyn

  2. Very Pretty!! Not your normal stuff, but pretty just the same. And very, very good quilting! I'm always sending away things and not getting a good picture of it.

  4. Wonderful quilt! Lovely colours. I often forget to take a photo of the finished quilt. It's probably because I am still finishing it at the last minute.

  5. Gorgeous quilt -- I like your label! The only quilt I ever let out of the house without taking a picture first was the first one I ever sold. The only pic I have of it is a tiny polaroid the lady who ran the show took.
