It was really hard to decide on a favorite to share, but this is what I settled on. It snowed here yesterday - a shock to my system after the 20+C weather I had the past two weeks - so I thought this quilt was the burst of color I needed this morning! I made this for high school friends' baby in Hong Kong back in the summer of 2007. Here's the original post from when I finished it and here is a little tutorial about how I put it together. Baby Bird is waiting for a baby brother or sister now! Better get started on the next one!I'm looking forward to surfing around later to see the other quilts!

I love the color combination on this quilt and I would never have put these together myself. Thanks for reminding me that I need to break out of my matchy matchy color sense in my quilting and take a risk once in a while. Thanks for sharing your wonderful work.
We've got snow here today and supposedly through the weekend. I just got the call that my kids are being released early. Hard to believe it's 4/17, but these spring storms are the worst.
Love your quilt!
wow this quilt just vibrates with color!
What wonderful bright sunny colors! Perfect for a rainy day like what I'm having today in WA!
Cheers,

Yes, quilts are for more than covering up with...my grandma made a baby quilt for my son and we hauled that everywhere to put down so he'd have something 'safe' to play on. To friends, to the park, to church...
The colors are lovely. I love happy baby quilts!

I love the chicks and the colors. Lovely.
Very pretty! Thanks for the tutorial, too. I espesially love how the red senter stripe is different i size. I am working on two string quilts with a restricted colorpalette right now. Come on over and have a look... These string quilts are fun to make, and I love the twist you made on the blocks!!!

What a great quilt. My group just had a challenge to do an interpretation of a strata quilt very similar to this. It's amazing to see how different they all look. You can see a number of them on our blog: http://sistersincloth.blogspot.com/
They are shown in the "Gallery of Quilts." Let me know what you think.
Beautiful colors & pattern. Very artistic.
Love the nice bright colours, I'm sure the baby will cherish this quilt for years.
They will always be able to feel the warnth and love the is obvious to those who view it .
Thanks for the opportunity
