altho traditional, are not that pleasing to me. This is Baby Julia, born fall,1999. She got this two color quilt, made in the robins egg blue and muslin. I was pleased with the quilt, especially liking the double diagonal runs that the 4 patches make. The block is a double 4 patch, but must be set a certain way to obtain the double runs. Usually if I can figure out what is a "block", I can make almost any quilt I've seen. This one kept me on my toes! The camera still has not surfaced, & so a scanned picture again today. (Sorry about that) But I have new motivation in cleaning. Unit inspection comes up again this Friday, happens with the time change. They change the furnace filter and check the smoke alarms....so, best I get myself into a 'cleaning' mode! As always, clutter is the enemy. I just don't have a big enough rug to sweep it under..The second picture is from my year of quilts, Baby Julia, growing up and looking good at 2 years. Her mom told DD that the quilt goes everywhere that Julia goes..*VBS*

Julia really loves her quilt. It is a beautiful quilt.
What a cutie she is! And she must love that quilt...it looks as if the color is being loved right out of it. I love when quilts get a little faded from use...they seem much more cosy that way!
It's heartwarming to see how your little one love the quilts you've made for them. The positive/negative patterning in this is intriquing.
I seem to be going through a 'two color' phase. I didn't think I liked them either - "scrappy is always best" but I have been having a lot of fun. Who knew I could sometimes break out of my hard and fast mold *s*
Oh she is so sweet! And what a neat design that quilt is. Sorry it has been a bit since I"ve been by... life is just not cooperating with me lately!
Gorgeous Julia, lucky girl, & lovely quilt.
Julia is so lovely and that quilt of her's is too...I love the design of the quilt.
I'm loving your calendar quilt photos. :-) I especially like Miss February! Now THAT is a quilt that has been well loved!
I was surprised in January when I chose this block for the Beginner Block Lotto on the Quilting Forum on about.com. We also made light and dark pairs of blocks in scrappy blues and whites. The response was incredible: I received 246 blocks--3 times more than the highest number of blocks previously received in a month. It made 8 winners very happy ... and taught me that a LOT of people love those traditional two color quilts ;-)
