Hi Cuties, Now you see what I made with the lamb. Two more lambs and 2 flowers on this baby blanket. I had the squares altogether waiting to be quilted, but thought it needed 'something' else.
When I saw Adorable Applique had the lamb for free last Wednesday, I knew just what to use it on. So I ripped out a row and replaced it with this strip of gray and stitched the appliques.
My first time using Minky on the back. Although I did quilt it, I won't call it a quilt, because I used no batting. It's more like a blanket to drag around and drag the little one would have to do, because surprisingly it's heavy.
I stitched around the appliques.Then a stipple/free motion quilted on the gray and you can see in the last picture, my gray thread came onto the pink back in a couple places where I started. I quilted in the squares a crosshatch, skipping a block in between each row of stitching. I didn't think it needed cross hatch to be any closer. I didn't use a ruler as you may can tell, just stitched from one corner sq, to the other.
I love how it turned out and hope, whoever gets it for their little one, loves it as well. Thank you Adorable Applique for Wednesday's freebie!

Here on cute, there's a set of a boy fishing,
Perfect place for that lamb. I just love the material. Minky will make it such a cuddly cover. Great job
Very good job both side!
