Roses For Kobi – 2002

When I learned I had a granddaughter on the way, I knew I had to find the most precious girly girl quilt pattern.

I found it in a Barbara Brandenburg book called “Fancy Things.”

                                   

Of course, my quilt had to be pink.  I found rose and rose bud fabrics and all the right pink and green colors and started hand appliqueing.  The gingham border is all pieced using four different pinks.

The quilt is entirely hand quilted.  I quilted around the appliques, did a grid in the center background, quilted in the ditch in the gingham inner border  and diagonally on the outer border.

I decided I wanted to do something special for the quilt label, so in addition to the usual information, I cut some of the roses from the border fabric and appliqued them around the label in the broderie perse method.

Here’s a picture of me with Kobi when I gave her the quilt (a few months late but finished).
