When my nieces & nephews began getting married and having babies, I decided to make each one an applique baby quilt to match the theme of their nursery. It could be used as a blanket or wall hanging. I have so much fun coming up with a design to go with each nursery. I have designed a sports theme quilt, a farm scene quilt, and baby doll dresses quilt. I have also made a firetruck theme quilt from a purchased pattern called "To the Rescue" by Clair Oehler at The Country Quilter.
Yesterday was the baby shower for both Valerie & Megan. Here are pictures of what I did. 
Chris & Megan have decided to wait till the baby is born to find out it's sex. Megan has done her nursery in brown and aqua. The teddy bears quilt is a personal design based from a coloring page for the bear.

Valerie & Justin farm. Rumor was that Justin wanted to wallpaper the nursery in tractor repair manual pages so their baby boy could tear down a tractor by age 5. Valerie was not so sure about that. Maybe the tractor quilt will help. I did purchase a pattern for the "One the Farm" quilt which was also designed by Claire Oehler with The Country Quilter. Now I have had to tell them that this is done only for their first baby--8 babies will not get 8 applique quilts. I have 19 nieces and nephews and that would add up to a lot of applique quilts and most likely several at once as with Megan & Valerie's babies-due about a week apart. I'm not that creative nor that fast!!
I wonder what I will do next. What will the next nursery theme be? We'll see.
