I made this quilt for my daughter when she was a teenager. Now that she is 30(!!!) she no longer wanted this quilt. She loved Teddy Bears and Piggies as a child. She still likes pigs, especially piglets. So when I saw
Val's linky archive about animal quilts, I remembered I just took a photo of this quilt as a memory. Since this was made long before I started blogging, I thought I would share this quilt with you now.

I used fabrics that had Teddy Bears, except I had to throw in one with pigs, since my daughter loves pigs too. I added small Bear Paw quilt blocks in the corners. |

Here is the pig fabric. So cute! |

Looks like the "Where's Waldo" of Teddy Bears. (Since this was photographed on the rocks, the top of the jar didn't lay flat)
Be sure and check out the other animal quilts over at Val's Quilting Studio too.

Very sweet quilt...love the fabric prints!
ReplyDeleteReally cute quilt. I'm sure your daughter loved it. I always like teddy bears too.
ReplyDeleteReally cute! Love the pigs. Can't help but smile when you look at those faces. Funny how kids grow up so fast. My oldest daughter will be 37 in a few days and the other will be 35 in June. Doesn't seem possible.
ReplyDeleteOMG! this is such a fun and cute quilt and I love how each jar is individual. Too cute.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

What a great idea for a quilt. I will remember this idea to use for a child quilt. I wonder what my grandchildren will do with quilts I make them when they're 30? I love making ones for them so I don't care as long as they've loved it and used it sometime in their lives.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet quilt you stitched for your daughter. Love the fabrics you put into jars. Creative Quilting Bliss...

ReplyDeleteStop by and grab a: I WAS HIGHLIGHTED button...as your quilt was the oldest quilt created in a new post! (Or something like that...LOL)
DeleteIt's adorable and what a wonderful memory. It's good you took a photo of it. Maybe your daughter could use it as a wall hanging in her daughters bedroom if she has a daughter that is.
