Recently a return customer asked for a pink and gray baby quilt. I love wearing pink and gray but had never made a quilt with this combination.
I was lucky to find this adorable pink, gray and white fabric with animal babies and their moms at Seacoast Sewing and Quilting in Biddeford, Maine. I picked the remaining fabrics to coordinate with the print.
Hand quilting done:
- Outlined the larger animals
- 1/4" lines outside each seam
- Stitched through the checker boxes

This lovely quilt arrived as a partially finished top with extra fabric, directions, a template, and the finished size desired.
To achieve the size, I needed to make and add 6 strips of the delectable mountain rows before the plain white borders. Considering different machines and people made this top, the assembly went smoothly.
I picked a soft pink double wide backing fabric so there would be no seam.
Hand Quilting:
- White thread used on 1/4" echo around each white mountain.
- Pink thread used for 1/4" echo around each pink mountain, four feathered hearts in the white center, a heart in each small white square, a large feathered motif in the four corners and a continuous swirl around the border.
- 42 hours of hand quilting
Binding:
- Made a double binding starting with 3" wide medium pink fabric ironed in half.
