Good Morning Baby Quilt in Dream! from Busy Hands Quilts

Today's fun quilty share is a Good Morning quilt in the Baby size!  The blending of bright rainbow colors with gray gives way to a modern baby quilt that will keep the precious baby goggle-eyed and entertained!  

Good Morning is a great pattern to use your scraps of scraps or jelly rolls, or use yardage of five colors to create an ombre effect.  Both methods are included in the quilt pattern, along with all of the quilt sizes, and strip piecing, as well.  I love to spoil you with all of those important details!  :)

Ombre Gems Throw Quilt in Ombre Confetti Fabric! from Busy Hands Quilts

This week's custom order finish is an Ombre Gems throw quilt in Ombre Confetti fabrics.




The quilt top was made by my sewist, Kare, and quilted and bound by me.  The only way I can take custom quilt orders is to have one of my sewists make the quilt top; I'm too busy with the pattern design side of my business to make the entire quilt myself.  I have found sewists that sew even better than I ...
