A very special quilt.


I started sewing this baby quilt when I found out that I was expecting a baby, but before we knew if it was a boy or a girl. I decided it would be a "green and yellow" baby, because I love the color combination.
I did not sew much during my pregnacy, because I did not feel like it, but I finsihed the quilt a couple of weeks ago. It was hard, but good to finish it.
I guess it will never be used, but the quilt is very special to me.



I used lots of old fabrics from my stash for this, many of them are 10-15 years old. I love the fabric and the colors.




I made a mug rug yesterday, have been looking around in flickr and found lots of inspiration there. This is made from tiny scraps, and are raw edge applique. I think it will look better after it has been washed a couple of times.

Very beautiful! What a special quilt. I'm glad that you finished it! I bought fabric for a quilt for my third baby, but I never even cut into it before he passed away. I still look at it and think that I should make it.

I like your mugrug too! Very cute!
