A couple of new pics

I posted two new finished (small) projects.

The March BOM is a cut down version of the clovers in Anita Shakelford's
Folded Applique book. The binding is bad... I wrapped the back to the front
and bound it. The corners didn't miter correctly so I just didn't miter
them. :-)

The pink YBR quilt is for my 2 year old. Her birthday is next month and she
can start preschool at my workplace when she turns 3. She needs a nap quilt
that can be kept there. I did a clamshell quilting pattern using freezer
paper. I accordian folded the freezer paper in 3" segments and then cut a
hump. I ironed it on the quilt and followed the edge. I then pulled it
out, lined it up again and stitched the next part. It was kinda time
consuming but turned out well. I only had to make 3 patterns. The freezer
paper let me keep using the same piece up to 15 times.

I would bet that no other child has a prettier nap blanket than your
daughter's.....

VERY nice Gina! Love them both. Great tip too on using freezer paper
for your clam shell template! I must try that sometime soon! Thanks
for the hint!

I love your BOMs, but just had to say that your daughter is going to have
one of the cutest quilts at preschool.

Thanks, young kids are so easy to please. She immediately rubbed her face
against it and bragged to the others in the family about how this was HER
quilt.
