A new great niece was on the way! I poured through my baby quilt books and fell in love with the patterns a book called “P.S. I Love You Two” by Nancy J. Smith and Lynda S. Milligan. I thought this quilt was particularly
adorable and, even though it was a lot of hand work and I wasn’t sure if I would get it done in time, I decided to tackle it. The background is a mottled pink. I pulled a lot of colors from my stash (and from the quilt shop) and pieced the single Irish chain in the center. The fabrics from the Irish chain were then used for the the appliqued Teddy Bear, hearts and letters.
This quilt is hand appliqued and hand quilted. I quilted a line through the chains and extended this line into the borders but not through the appliques. I quilted a heart in each pink square in the center of the quilt and quilted around the appliques and letters to emphasize them.
This is the pattern book.
