Using a Layer Cake from my stash, I made 2 baby quilts. One was to be for the Red Egg and Ginger party for Landy’s new granddaughter, Charlotte, and the other was to be for donation. However, I soon learned that Cousin Kristi has a new granddaughter, Chloe Sofia, so the second one will go to the new cousin. I used an internet pattern I used before in January 2021 “Always Sunshine and Silver Linings”, to make a quilt for Kristi’s granddaughter Grace. The internet patterns are by Amy Smart and are called “Easy DIY Star Baby Quilt Tutorials”. I made the same one I used for Grace “Morning Star” for Charlotte and the second one “Lone Star” for Chloe so she wouldn’t be too matchy with her sister Grace. Both quilts were quilted on the domestic.

“Year of the Rabbit” for Chloe
Chloe and I share a Chinese Zodiac year. This is “our” year. And the back is a rabbit print, so the name seems obvious.
