Emily's Giraffes

Since I have some free time while I wait for my grandson to be born, I thought I would show you a couple of other baby quilts I never posted. This is Emily's Giraffes, made for my great-niece in 2017.


The pattern is Giraffes in a Row by Lorna at Sew Fresh Quilts. It goes together quite nicely with some careful cutting and accurate 1/4" seams.


 The pink baby giraffe is Emily.


I pieced the other 3 during a weekend retreat. Several friends have since purchased the pattern!


Big sister Jackie is purple, mom is teal and dad is Syracuse orange!


Quilting my standard loopy swirl.


Glue basting the binding to the back allows for tidy machine stitching from the front. It makes me happy. Is that weird?


The backing fabric was purchased years ago when my LQS retired.

Another darling pattern for kids quilts. This one looks easy as far as piecing goes, and I love the subtle spots.

ALL of Sew Fresh Quilt patterns are wonderful to use, I have made several and they all turned out fine...and she’s Canadian! Your giraffes are so cute, what a great gift. Jill in Calgary/Phoenix
