Said she's your cousin that came for a visit Your putting me on, is this true, now who is it?

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.
