Cotton Candy!!

I have been finishing up some quilting projects and starting a couple more!! Thought I would share the third baby quilt. This one was commissioned by my DIL - a gift for a family friend. Lyn loves more modern, bold fabrics and I always feel "challenged" that I will be able to make it look the way she envisioned it. I do have a few little "things/mistakes" in this quilt, but overall I think it will be okay. I did really enjoy FMQ several different motifs, especially the lollipop flowers in the top and bottom rows. The colors remind me of cotton candy, and the motifs were fun, so thought "Cotton Candy" fit for a name.









Hope this finds each of you filled with JOY!!

Wow, look at you go, girl! The seeming ease with which you pick up on FMQ astounds me--mostly because it didn't work that way for me.
LOVE those lollipop flowers. They are so cute. : )
Do you have an artistic background? You "draw" with your machine so well!!

Oh my goodness Doniene! So stinkin' cute! I absolutely love the flower on the blue/white fabric! I'm going to have to remember that one for when/if I ever get serious about FMQ! :)

Hi there, I have to say this is perfect for a little girl! Love your machine quilting too-you are so talented. I've been working so much on the quilt but only have three blocks completed with stitching. I sure love the hand work but it would be easier to do more if I machine quilted it. Hope you have a joy filled day my friend! Hugs to you.
