Claire's Quilt

This quilt was made for Claire Elizabeth Stevenson, born January 3, 2013. 
I made a quilt for her older sister Emma with a tree theme.  Her mom asked for a similar theme quilt for Claire and is my original design. The colors were based upon the classic Winnie the Pooh quilt set. 
Claire is my grand-niece.

Tami, Claire's mom, sent me a picture of her idea for the quilt.
I drew the tree and appliqued it to the background.
The leaves are from fabric from Emma's quilt.
The border fabric was also used in Emma's quilt.
