A Quilt for Jenna Lynn

Last month my brother and his wife were blessed with their second daughter - Jenna Lynn.  I love her name!  And I so wish I could hold her in my arms but that's not going to happen soon since they live across the country from me.

I asked my s-i-l if she would like a quilt for Jenna and she said she did.  Yeah!!  (Have I ever mentioned that I have very talented sisters and s-i-l's who make their own quilts already.)  Last summer when they were out visiting, we were talking about quilting, scrap buckets etc. and Linnet said, "I'd love a quilt from your scrap bucket,"  insinuating that she liked my scraps (or maybe that I have way to many?.. not sure.)

So that's what I did.  I picked through my scrap bucket to come up with a colour scheme for a girl that didn't include pink or purple.  That wasn't a request, just a challenge for myself.

I used my friend Rebecca's Baby Go to cut out the tumblers so the cutting was easy and the piecing was easy too.  It was a fun quilt to make.  The backing is a leftover piece of a sheet that I had used to back another quilt.  And the binding was not a scrap but a recent purchase.

My favourite part.  Do you see her name in the quilting?

I can't wait to see this little girl in real.  But I'll settle for a photo of her under or on the quilt. :-)  For now.
