I've been around for a while, but this is the first time I've posted to this forum. I love the creativity here :thumbsup:

This quilt is made of poly-cotton material with regular fiberfill batting. The wings and body of the large dragonfly are seminole patchwork. All four dragonflies were appliqued onto the background. It is sort of symbolic of my new granddaughter-to-be, who is due in about a month, and her three older brothers. I had it machine quilted by a local woman, and I am not very pleased with that part of it, but oh well. I am working on another baby quilt, this one with a large butterfly. I'm doing it quite differently, but with the same materials. The colors are actually much brighter irl.

Wonderful talent, I've seen such amazing things done with quilts. You can put such personal messages and antedotes into them for the person they are intended for.

Very unique gift.

Very cute! I like that you didn't use "baby" colors.

OMG~ I want one!:clap: :clap: How adorable is that??? Does that come in King size?:rolleyes: Fab design, colors and a beautiful gift for the new baby to be. ( Congratulations!!!) I'm sorry you are not happy having had it machine quilted by someone else but it really looks cute as can be from our end.

Please do show us the new one you start.
