I have finished my second commissioned quilt and I love it. I think the colours work well together. It is for a baby girl, and I was asked not to make it too “pink”. I found this a bit of a challenge but I think I pulled it off.
and here is the backing, it is a lovely liberty-like pattern which is my new favourite backing material. Ooooh and the first ever view of my new labels!
And finally all tied up and ready for delivery….
I am still getting to grips with how different it is making something for someone else – choices are much more difficult, but I felt more relaxed making this one than my first commission. I love the feeling of finishing a project, it means I can get on with the next one…….
As it is Monday I am linking in with Handmade Harbour’s Handmade Monday, why don’t you too?

Oh my, it is absolutely stunning!I find it also so hard to find a good backing fabric that works with the front of the quilt but yours work beautifully 🙂
oh I love it!
This is lovely. I love the back and your labels. It looks so professional all folded up. Great job!
I think that is so pretty, and feminine even tho not pink (pink is not a favorite color of mine either). I just love it. And it must really be hard making stuff for others, it would make me a little crazy. 🙂
It is certainly a very different sort of feeling. I enjoyed it more this time though. I was less worried about everything.
It’s a lovely quilt, not surprised the backing fabric is a favourite as it’s very pretty
Thankyou.
splendid!
It’s just gorgeous!
This is stunning! I love quilts so much time and love goes into them makes them more snuggly i think 🙂
I agree completely
How do you quilters find the time?
This looks beyond professional. The butterfly material is lovely. Would be nice as a block for a baby blanket.
That has made my day, Thankyou!
That is a really lovely quilt. I don’t think i could bear to part with it if i’d made it.
I know what you mean. I am trying to remember that the best gifts are the ones you want to keep, but it will be difficult to part with it. I do feel better now it is all wrapped up and ready for delivery to its new owner though.
Oh, it’s gorgeous! I know what you mean about commissions – the decisions can be difficult! I think you pulled it off though, it’s girly without being too pink. I love how you’ve presented it, too, tied up like a precious parcel!
Thanks. I have a little boy so I loved the opportunity to do something girly.
Beautiful!
Thankyou x
