My last post showed Susie’s Five Little Monkies quilt for one of her expected grandbabies.
Here is the second one. She did some delicate embroidery in the center of each block with different nursery rhyme themes.
I framed each embroidery and added freeform daisies in the corners of the frame. You’ll find all your favorite nursery rhymes on her quilt top: Mary Had a Little Lamb, Knick Knack Patty Whack Give a Dog a Bone, I’m a Little Teapot, Itsy Bitsy Spider, and more!
Take a look at the sashings. I put a Leaved vine in the sashings and a petal flower in the four patches.
I think I need to ask Susie to adopt my triplets so they can get some super sweet quilts like this!

I think this quilt is great! I’ve been wanting to do something similar – a fairy tale baby blanket… I think it would be a fun exercise in embroidery and a fun gift to give with a pile of books for a new baby!
Really pretty!
where can you purchase the nursery rhyme designs and instructions to do the quilt I am having my first grandchild and would love to do this Thank you
Isn’t it great, Mary! Delicate and feminine. Perfect for a bitty baby girl!
