Another finished baby quilt. I had published a tutorial about how to make this chevron Here.
For the backing I chose a fabric print of Jemima Puddle Duck from a tale of Beatrix Potter, my "idole".
As well on the top I used a fabric print with Jemima eggs in a nest. I found some illustrations of this tale in this
wonderful book.         
Enjoy your day!

Antique Doll Quilt and Bunny

Detail

Today I will show you the second antique doll quilt from the batch, previously shown in this post,
that I received in London last month.

I think that brown, beige and pink are perfectly matching colors, one of my favorite antique fabrics blends.

Nice white and blue calicot and nice hand quilting.

Books

I am a great fan of Beatrix Potter art, and those little books are remains from my childhood.

For those who may be interested in Beatrix Potter art and life, I recommend this excellent film : Miss Potter, with Renee Zellweger in the role of Beatrix Potter. I was so delighted when I first saw this film, that I watched it again and again... This is one of my best films ever!

Have a beautiful creative day!
