Pretty Pink Little Girl Quilt

Pretty, pink and girly aren't my usual style... This quilt is for a little girl whose dad is marrying into my family this weekend.  Her parents are getting this string quilt but this is a big day for her, too, and both her new first cousins already have one of mine :)


From my limited stash of girly fabrics I found this pink one with the unicorns and the dark purple with the swallows.  Originally I was hoping to use just pinks, purples, and yellow for the borders but I didn't have enough so I added blue and green.


For the backing I used an old Tula Pink print with swans.  I lucked into a bolt of this on sale a few years back in California.


Happy wedding to Doug and Anna and welcome to the family, Kenna!
