Penny Jane's Quilt *Fall Quilt Festival*

 vPark City Girl is hosting another Blogger Quilt Festival.  She did one in spring that I browsed through a bit.  I decided that it would be fun to participate this time around.  This time she wanted us to post our favorite quilt.  So I pulled out the pictures of a baby quilt I made earlier this year.

I modified Valori Well's Urban Baby pattern for this quilt.  I love how it looks completely random but isn't.  :)  It was so much fun picking out the fabric for this quilt.  I started with that really loud one and went from there.

  This was a gift for a close friend's daughter who was born in May.  I was a bit bummed when I heard the name they chose for her since it is one of my two favorite baby girls names.  (In fact I had a flash/premonition as she was getting ready to tell me.  I wanted to cover my ears and go," Don't say it, don't say it!"  I just knew in my heart she was going to say Penelope.  I'm not sure how I knew, but I just did.)  I was heartbroken for about two weeks.  My husband thought I was being weird.  Trying to make me feel better, he said he never would have agreed to name our next one Penelope anyhow.  (Men!)  Once I got over it I figured the girl with my favorite name should be the owner of my favorite quilt and I set out to "make it so".

The cupcake fabric was something I bought on clearance over a year ago.  I think I originally bought it to make myself PJ pants but never got around to it.  I am glad I didn't.  It makes for such a fun backing.

Now go visit some of the other sites that are in the Festival!  :)
