willa's pillow

Friends of ours just had a baby (okay, it was like 3 months ago), and we finally got over to see them this week.  Their baby's name is Willa and she is cute with a full head of hair. 

I made her a pillow as a birthday gift.  I know babies can't really use pillows, but as she gets older it will come in handy.  David helped me with the design. I brought him an idea and he gave me a different idea and then I kind of combined the two ideas for the finished product.

 TA-DA!


 Her pillow is fairly small, and I made it in cute colors that aren't necessarily girly.  Our friends were happy about that.  This is before I quilted it and made it into a pillow.


I did a couple different quilting designs- some outlining the fun shapes on the fabrics and the middle lines were just wavy lines with little loops in them.  I really like how it turned out.


 I also embroidered Willa's name on the back with a little flower.  Happy little girl!
