Meet Aidan!
Green Stars
I made a baby quilt (don't know the baby's name)
Starting here
I have not met the mother (unless you count meeting on Teams)
Design Wall
So when Lina (not her real name) mentioned that she was going on maternity leave, I asked her if there was color/theme to the nursery.
Striped Binding
Green and Dinosaurs, Lina replied. And THAT was enough :-D
Dinosaur Centers
I found loads of cute green fabrics in my stash. I love that gnome fabric, which I got from the last Quiltcon.

| Many cute fabrics |
While I had enough print fabric to make the star centers, I did not have enough for a dinosaur backing.
This dinosaur backing came from my MIL's stash (some of which I inherited when she passed away). Isn't it amazing that the universe provides whatever we need, when we need it.
Here are some more pictures.

Aidan is just the right quilt for St.Patrick's Day and Easter, which will be here before we know it.
Aidan finished at 41" square
Labelled
Aidan warms my heart. Hope Aidan brings joy to the little one!

Joy is in short supply these days but I found some lately, when Bloomtown Quilt made its way to a baby the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. The mom (a friend of my sister) was kind enough to send me a picture.
Aww...

According to Angela, the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for March is Red. I have gathered my red scraps. I am sure I will need more. Thankfully, Island Batik scraps abound.
Reds for March
I will be linking with Angela's Linky Party on Saturday and all my other favorites. See full list on the sidebar.
What brought you joy, lately? Please let me know. Joy shared is joy multiplied.
What a darling baby quilt--such joyful fabrics, Preeti;))) Lovely work..
ReplyDeleteThese days my Junque Journaling brings me Joy--something about gluing paper down and having it be so freeing just calms me.
I hope you can find joy every day--even just for a moment...things
are so hard these days...hugs Julierose:)))
Such a cute baby quilt, Preeti! Love the dinosaurs.
ReplyDeleteTwo sweet babies wrapped up in Preeti's joy. Good job.
ReplyDeleteI've been watching the kittens from Ring of Fire Australia YouTube. She breeds Ragdolls.
Adorable baby quilt. They will love it. What brings me joy lately? Sewing almost always brings me joy, especially when the quilt is for someone special. I finished the top of a quilt for my husband recently and took it to a long arm quilter about a week ago. Having that done by his April birthday will bring me joy.
ReplyDeleteit will DEFINITELY bring joy - I got a huge smile just checking out those fabrics!! We LOVE Dinos around here!! how sweet you are to think of your co worker!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful gift for the new baby! I too love it when the universe provides!--TerryK@OnGoingProject
ReplyDeleteAidan is so cute, Preeti! I love the happy prints and Spring colors. Babies and their quilts always bring joy! Seeing little hyacinths coming up in my garden has brought me joy recently. We do need more of that!
ReplyDeleteHi Preeti, your quilts bring me joy - this one is so cute. Amazing what fabric does to a quilt :-) Thanks for linking up to I Quilted This!
ReplyDeleteWe definitely need to lean in to the joy when it arrives. Aiden is a delightful quilt and what a fun eye spy it will be with the delightful prints. I'm thankful for you and your big heart. <3
ReplyDeleteVery cute quilt and I LOVE the Wizard of Oz fabric (my favourite movie and obsession!). The picture with the baby is so cute - thanks for the smile today!
ReplyDeleteThe Aidan stars quilt is wonderful! Your friend's little one makes a great quilt modeler. Joy for me, right now, is the relief at not feeling overwhelmed by too much to do.
ReplyDeletethis is really a beautiful quilt! The colors sing!
ReplyDeleteYour green star baby quilt is a delight. Great use of those wonderful fabrics.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt for the new member of your co-worker's family! Nothing like getting a prompt that sends you immediately into creative mode and takes advantage of your stash!
ReplyDeleteA very sweet baby quilt. The gnome fabric is really cute and so is that backing fabric. Happy stitching this week.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute, and what a cute baby! Lucky co-worker!
ReplyDeletevery cute baby at the end of post and I love the star quilt it turned out really good.
ReplyDeleteWell, YOU bring me joy, every new quilt is beautiful and this baby one is adorable! Cute prints, the star pattern is perfect for them. I love the photo sent by your friend too, and I almost didn't recognized Bloomtown! Such a beautiful quilt. Thank you so much for sharing your work and linking up, hugs.
ReplyDeleteSeeing my daffodils trying to emerge this week even though it snowed the very next day gave me joy. I love the Aiden quilt, lots of beautiful greens.
ReplyDeleteI love how you combined the greens, blues, aquas and prints in Adorable (my editorial) Aidan. What has brought me unexpected joy recently is warmth and sunshine. It certainly doesn’t come from the news!!
ReplyDeleteYour posts and creativity bring me joy Preeti. Love the Aiden quilt, and the names you give each of your quilts. So creative.
ReplyDeleteAidan brings me joy this morning! Novelty prints are my favorites, especially cats and dinosaurs. More joy is using a scrap you sent me (as a prize for a donated quilt). It's a pink print with tigers in my latest donation quilt. Hang in there, you're not alone in how you feel.
ReplyDeleteCute quilt!
ReplyDeleteBabies bring such joy! Those red scraps will become something fabulous. Thanks for sharing in Sew & Tell... It brought me joy. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun baby quilt to make and extra special to be able to use fabric from your MIL. It’s just the best seeing our quilts being used, isn’t it?
ReplyDeleteAiden is a beauty, and what a lucky baby to have an official Preeti quilt before she even has a name!
ReplyDeleteVery cute, pretty. I love the striped binding! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun little quilt! I love that the patches are big enough to appreciate the adorable fabrics.
ReplyDeleteJoy, hmm, if you look for it in little surprises, you're bound to find something. Lately I've discovered it in early blooms that waft sweet scents on the patio. And there was a surprise quilt class teaching opportunity in my email. And despite the late 28 degree freeze, we were able to save some of the garden and all of the baby chicks!
ReplyDeleteLovely little dinosaur quilt. Someone is going to love the happy colors.
Aiden is a very cute quilt! Perfect for baby. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
