Triple Lattice Quilts

"A baby brings a little bit of heaven down to earth"

-Author Unknown

Can you imagine what three bits of heaven must be like?

These quilts are for the the sweetest little angels.  Their due date was this month, but they arrived early last month, like triplets seem to like to do.

Boys' Quilts
 (just picture this times two, okay)

 

The boys came home a few weeks ago from the NICU.

The blue and "gray" fabric make me think how soft and sweet little boys are.

I am so happy with the softness of this quilt!  

 Girl Quilt

Baby girl came home from the NICU this past weekend!

  Oh how I wish I had permission to share their photos!  

My heart melted when I saw them!

 

The pinks from the same line have always seemed bolder than the blues.  

I imagine she is going to keep her brothers on their toes, don't you?

I am really happy that I braved the Arabesque pattern on my longarm machine.

It looks soooo scrumptious on the minky back.

I decided on an off white backing to mimic the white background of some of the blocks.  

The binding had to be the beige the lattice print. 

I have to tell you.  I finished them and dropped them off yesterday.   Unfortunately, it was raining all day, so my photos are definitely not spot on.  My camera battery kept dying and I didn't realize the angles of the full on photos were goofy.

 So I had to share one of my two helpers....... 

I ALMOST had a shot of my JJ all crouched down so you couldn't see his head behind there.  He a;sp tried to hide his feet. It was quite the comical position.

  Lucky for him, the battery died before I could catch it!

Finishes?

I have finishes.

But only Instagram photo glimpses of the finishes because sometimes something has to be sacrificed if you actually want to finish things right? 

Hugs quilt

A group quilt that was my job to quilt and bind. 

I just mailed it off yesterday. As soon as the recipient receives it, I will reveal all of the photos!!

Triplet Windsor Quilts

Finished them 10 minutes before the stroke of midnight.

It actually feels like a fairy tale.

Too bad midnight isn't the best time to take pictures. 

Photos to come!

I feel like a major tease!
Edited to add:  I forgot! I did post my nephew's Cat in the Hat quilt Friday!

That doesn't make me look TOO bad, right?

In Progress:

The Argyle Quilt

Hexi stacks have begun.

Blue and green are finished and red is well underway. 

But I'm not going to get ahead of myself.

The 256 gray Hexies will take a bit!!!

Card Trick Block Quilt

The summer bee blocks inspired me to piece the blocks that were sent in to me.  

I have to decide what backing and binding I want to use. Not to mention the quilting...and the pattern I have to write up since I promised it when I wrote up the Card Trick block tutorial.

Linking up with Lee

Now I feel like I left you empty and hungry for more.  Which means you will come back and see what is happening, right?

WIP: Windsor Lane Style

Bunny Hill Designs came to my studio.

And threw up on it!

I am in the midst of piecing three quilts.  

Two blue for two boys.

One pink for one girl.

TWO babies plus ONE baby equal?

TRIPLETS!!!!!  

These fabrics are utterly scrumptious for their nursery.  The photos that I received were of very nuetral gray/beige and very soft pinks and blues.  The cribs? The softest of shades of pink and blue.  Almost a beige/white with just a touch of color.

I think this Windsor Lane line fits the bill!

They decided to arrive earlier than their due date in July.  Very much like triplets do. I had originally thought I would be starting this week.  Instead, I am trying to get these tops done for quilting as soon as possible.

  The boys are off their NG tube feedings and are due home, possibly next week!
