For this last Christmas, I decided to make quilts for my niece and nephew. Each quilt has a personalized, hand embroidered "tag" and matching tooth fairy pillow. The two pillows are about the same size, but the quilts are different sizes. Since my nephew is 1 and my niece is 3, I decided to make a quilted baby mat for my nephew and a kid-size quilt for my niece. This was a very rewarding endeavor.

Here you can see my nephew's pillow up close. "ALEX" is hand-embroidered into the pocket cloth.
I couldn't resist this panda and polka dots material! Since my sister-in-law said my niece changes her mind on what she likes pretty often, it seemed like a great option. She loves her new pillow and blanket.
Below are a variety of pictures that show the individual squares where I quilted the patterns into the fabric. The first one is from before I added the border, but you can kind of see the quilting in the light pink squares.
Above: cupcake.
Below: flower.
Above: star.
Below: butterfly.
Above: cherry.
Below: on the back side the butterfly overlapped the embroidered "tag," which I thought was a nice effect though totally unintentional.
I hope you enjoyed this post! It was a pleasure to share!
Blessings and Peace!
