Gabriel Project Quilts

These four (4) baby quilts were my contribution to my Wednesday Stitchers Group. We are making quilts for Gabriel Project.

I took some of these scraps home to make baby quilts.




This one was based on the free Simply Strippy pattern from Bonnie at Quiltville. It's quilted with Timeless Hearts pantograph by Timeless Quilting Designs.

These next two quilts (bar style) were based on this quilt from Lululollylegs blog.

Quilted with Popcorn by Willow Leaf Studio.

Another one based on this quilt from Lululollylegs blog.

And quilted with Daisies Galore by Timeless Quilting Designs. I love this pantograph.
