I started this quilt for my granddaughter' "Lily" birthday in October.
I purchased the pattern as soon as it came out from Nanette at Freda's Hive sometime in the fall..
I was so pleased to see that Nanette included a smaller size since Lilybug will only be 4.
Only 4! I cannot believe she is already that age.
I decided to start early because I like the look of hand applique on the dresses rather than the machine blanket stitch.
I will post more as I get them done.
I am only using fabrics that I own.
So far no fabric purchases this month at all yet!
Thanks Nanette.

This is adorable so far....can't wait to see more as you progress with it. Lily will love this, I'm sure. (Is it going to be a surprise or has she seen parts of it already?)
Wow, I am loving the fabric choices!!! I got my pattern at the beginning of January and am so excited to start it.
Please keep us posted on this progress.

I love the dresses! It looks so cute. can't wait to see more.
Lily is a lucky little girl to have such a talented grandmother. I wish we lived closer, I can't applique to save my stash.
Betsy, that is just beautiful! I can't wait to see more of it and I know you are having a wonderful time making this quilt for Lily.
Cute and colorful. Great project for a little girl.
She will cherish that forever!
so cute, I love the colors-so bright! are you using needle turn?
I love your fabric choices and it's every bit as cute as Nanette's. I've seen this quilt in person and would love to make one someday too!
All my girls have grown up but I have a sweet grandaughter I can make it for someday!! That would be fun!
Lilybug will love it. I have the pattern also and selected my fabric back in the Fall, but have yet to start. Just so many things to do! :)
They are sooo beautiful! What a treasure for your granddaughter! I'm starting this quilt next month...I get to take the class from Nanette herself!
"Lilybug" is one lucky girl. I love the happy prints and the hand applique. Can't wait so see how you finish it off.
What a charming quilt this will be. Your GD will love it!
I like your blog. I see in your profile that you're a Spanish teacher. I was previously a Spanish teacher as well, but I now stay home with my 4 month old son. I just got into quilting and I love it! so fun!!
Oh wow Betsy - stunning! Just stunning. I love it of course. It is really beautiful and your fabrics are wonderful for it. It has so much life. Good for you. I'm extremely excited to see your progress. I love it. Your granddaughter will love it so much. It is the perfect quilt for a girly girl.
