Quilts for babies are so fun to make! The recipients are second cousins to each as they share a great-grandparent. Thanks to Covid, the recipients weren't able to be delivered until after the babies' first birthdays.
The first quilt is a double Irish Chain. The baby has a VERY Irish name and the mom requested bright colors so I chose a bright floral print to coordinate with gold and medium purple. I was commissioned to create a quilt for the older brother when he was born.
The second quilt is definitely non-traditional. The recipient's name is Ori which is the Hebrew word for light. After racking my brain thinking of lightning bolts and suns, the bulb clicked on and hence I thought a lightbulb theme would be fun.
I modified a public domain sketch to change the filament to spell the baby's name.
