Tulip Quilt for a Young Mademoiselle

Lavender and green and yellow and tulips
A spring itself quilt for a new baby,
a just toddling toddler or a young Mademoiselle.

PS.  Every time I see the word Mademoiselle, I remember with a wince that moment in France when I had made the transition from Mademoiselle to Madame ... I was so chagrined ... it had nothing to do with a wedding ring and everything to do with wrinkles!

The fabrics are mostly grown-up fabrics ... except the
one with the cutest little chubby birds.

Neatly folded, waiting to
keep someone warm

How a well loved quilt usually
looks ... crumpled up!

Each block is 9" and is a basic Bears Paw block
with the tulip set in the 'paw'.

I design with the Bears Paw block quite often, it's very versatile.
I used it in my Artichoke Garden Quilt with a log cabin-ish 'paw'.

As designed in EQ ... have I said before how much I love EQ!

Yellow and White Cross Stitch Quilt . . . Sweet as it can be

I bought this quilt in an antique store years ago.  It was love at first sight.  I've enjoyed having it displayed all these years, but now it's time for someone else to enjoy it's cheerfulness!

This quilt would be beautiful in a guest room.  Or on a young lady's bed.

This is one half the quilt . . . with my favorite block, the turquoise one! plus blue, pink and green.  The cross stitch workmanship is very good.

The other half . . . peach, purple, orange and yellow.  And the pastel variegated corner blocks.  I really like the diagonal piano key quilting on the edges too.

Sweet, Just plain sweet.

I'm not sure the vintage of this quilt . . . 80's maybe. 90's?  At any rate, I think it is
so nicely done it has a timeless quality.
