Shellie's quilt

This is the Oh Baby ! quilt I made for Shellie,
using her baby girl's first year of clothes.





























She had 12 adorable pink, green & yellow outfits, which I cut apart at the seams.
I was able to get enough 3 1/2" squares to make 9 ninepatch blocks.








I combined the leftover motifs (fish, teddy bear, flowers)
with some of the odd-size pieces and made 3 more blocks.















Shellie and I had shopped for fabric at the Blue Ribbon Quilt Shoppe in Wylie. We found the spring green sashing and binding fabric,as well as the pink, yellow and green floral for the borders and backing.
It's quilted in a loop pattern.
The quilt is a birthday present for the baby's grandma. Here's the label on the back:
