Aine's Farm

I call this "Aine's Farm", made for my great-niece Aine Tenoch --she has both Celtic and Aztec ancestors.  It's 36 inches square. I'm getting pretty good at selecting parts of Kim's designs and using them in small quilts-- more manageable for me.  I know I'm never going to make a queen- or king-size appliqué quilt but I get enormous pleasure working on these smaller projects.  These handsome animals are from Pandemonium.  Fabrics by Kaffe of course.  It is hand-appliquéd and hand-quilted.  I can't wait to start another one.

    What a lovely and inspired idea. I'd like to make a queen sized quilt, but this is so much more doable. I'll have to consider them. This one is great! Aine's going to love it.

    just adorable , I have to admit to buying this pattern for the designs I knew it would be a long time before I make the whole quilt if I ever do!
    Love what you have done, Lucky Aine she will adore it I am sure.

    Lovely quilt, Leland, and such a fantastic idea to use parts of Kim's designs to make a new quilt. The larger quilts do take a long time to complete and I've been thinking that smaller quilts will be more achievable for me in the future.

    Absolutely adorable! Super cute. All kids love Pandemonium so this is a great idea for small lap quilts for children. Very well done.

    that little quilt is just a perfect size for a girls room
    I love your choices in fabric. Pandemonium has been calling to me for some time. Maybe I will start on a little project first.
