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!

Adorable and such a thoughtful idea to gift a quilt to the daughter.
