Climbing Lanterns

I made this quilt for grand niece Emma Joy Stevenson, born March 7, 2011. Her mother Tami (my niece) picked out the pattern and asked for muted tones of cream, tan, sage, and butter yellow. The quilt will hang above her crib and was designed to coordinate with a Classic Winnie the Pooh crib set.
The quilt was machine pieced, appliqued, and quilted.









A close-up of the lanterns and the quilting. Each lantern was stuffed lightly with polyester fiberfill and then appliqued on with gold metallic thread.



I used a sashiko inspired pattern for quilting.








Emma's quilt now hangs at end of her loft bed.
