Pinks and brown baby quilt

Chocolate pinwheel is what I am calling this one. took me for ever to finally quilt it. Hand quilting on both side of the seam. This was also my second pieced quilt......I hate cutting all of them out. A rotary cutter was used to cut many at a time but still, not my favorite thing to do. I procrastinated on this one as well. I had no deadline,but i made my self finish this one so I could start my next one. Thinking American Baby, lets see how that one turns out.

Pink and Brown Baby shower cake. Baby booties tucked inside the bow. Little white gum paste flowers on each connection of triangle. Cake was covered in fondant. Bow, triangles, and stripes were also made from fondant. A little less happy with this one. I should have let my bow pieces dry more before attaching and wish I could have found a more perfect triangle cutter. I bought the square cutters and pushed in on the side to oblong it. It worked for what I wanted I guess. Also wish I could have had more time, and worked on getting my strips more equal. Each cake is a learning experience and makes me better ( I hope). Hope there happy with it. Keep in touch to see how the recipient liked her baby shower cake.

This is the baby quilt i am working on now. Showing in picture how you make a quilt sandwich. The backing fabric facing good side down, then put on quilt batting, then your quilt top facing up. It being a Small baby quilt i just pinned to hold sandwich together. I Then put a embroidery hoop in the middle and hand quilt out. (Always start in the middle of project so you don't get folds in your project ). Quilt out to the edges then add your border. This one has not got a home either... We do have another baby coming into the family. Yep you guessed it, Its going to be a boy. I can never get ahead. I think my plan now is to start making all boy quilts........ then maybe i can start having some baby girls around here. So now i have two baby quilts to make before the end of this year. Well, this will give me somthing to do between decorating cakes.
