This quilt is for one of my dear friends, Rachel. She has been my counselor in the primary for the last two years and is one of the best people I know. She is an emergency room nurse at the children's hospital, an exceptional mother, super talented, and a hundred percent dependable. I would have fallen apart a long time ago except for her help and support in primary.
She is having her third baby on Thursday, so of course I had to make her a quilt. :) I used THIS tutorial and had so much fun putting it together.
I have done strait-line quilting before, but never when I have to turn the quilt. So quilting this quilt was a new experience for me. Luckily the quilt is quite small. It didn't end up being too tricky. And I gained a little confidence in my machine quilting ability.

This is darling - perfect for a little girl! And I can't believe you whipped in up in a matter of an afternoon. You are amazing!!!
Jessi, so fun to read through your blog! I can believe you have 5 girls! They are gorgeous. I totally love this quilt too - pink and green is my favorite girl combo and the rag look is adorable. I need to buckle down and get some sewing done too!
PS- totally love your cute house too!
Gorgeous. I love the colors. My girl's room is pink and green.
PS love the backing, I'm pretty sure I have some of that leftover from a project somewhere.
ADORABLE
