Baby Quilts Galore!

I have 3 good friends from my church that are pregant with girls and due this summer.  So...I've been busy making baby quilts.  The coolest thing (for me...and other fellow quilters) is that I made 3 baby quilts and only had to buy one roll of batting!  That's right...all 3 quilts were assembled from scraps that I had in my stash!!!  There is something way more exciting and gratifying when you are able to create a quilt from scraps...and it looks good!

Here is the first one...for baby Eliana Brown.  (I know the name starts with an E...but I could be TOTALLY wrong...help someone???!!!)


I free-motioned traced a butterfly in each square and used the machine's butterfly stitch on the teal squares.  The yellow squares have embroidered bumps with strings dangling and the teal squares have ruffles accross.  I think the baby will have fun with all the different textures.



Here is a small peak of the back.  You can see the butterfly better.


This quilt is for baby Samata Isabella Tilley.  (Again...not positive of the name...but I think I remembered it correctly).  The quilt is not as fancy, but I threw the Mother a suprise baby shower...so I figure that will make up for it!

Here's the front.


Here's the back.


The third quilt is for baby Katherine Elizabeth.  (I KNOW I have this name right!!!)  I hoping that by the time we get back from vacation she will have made her grand entrance!!!  I have not pictures of the quilt...since I finished them at 2pm on the day of the 6pm suprise baby shower!  Once I meet baby Katie, I'll get pictures of the quilt and add them to the post!

Thanks for looking.  (I totally stole that line from my Aunt Martha...another fabolous quilter!)
