2014 January ~ Baby Quilt for Hannah Addyson =) Applique & Horse Picture Piecing

I designed this baby quilt on my own and it was delivered to California in March.  Little Hannah, my niece was born in December and her mother rescues horses, so that was my idea behind including a picture piecing method of a horse head in the center of it and then personalized it with her first and unique middle name appliqued on it. I made it really big so she will hopefully still be using it when she goes off to college one day.  I did not do the free motion quilting myself on this baby quilt, I think it turned out fantastic, I will find out if she has a website I can share right here on my blog as well.  Let me know what you think, leave me a comment please =)

The back was a super soft cuddly minky!

Isn't she a cutie pie?!  =)

I took this picture this 
morning, one of the 
new baby 
bunnies in the
 yard, decided to prune a 
few of my tulip tops. (It will 
still be beautiful!) 4-10-14
