Baby Ralphie celebrated his first birthday in October. He loves his Auntie Karen and Auntie Karen loves him. Because Ralphie was the inspiration behind my baby Dresden quilt, an appliqued portrait was a must.
I selected fabric to match his personality and named the quilt Baby Ralphie. The Dresden's, Baby Ralphie and the four little flowers, were all hand appliqued.
Sorry about the quality of the last photo. I took tons of pictures (in different locations) and they all turned out dotty. Maybe the busyness of the fabric. I selected the best one, but uploading it to blogger, reduced the quality even more.
Until next week.....happy quilting!

I love, love, love, this quilt!! It is just fantastic! Baby Ralphie should be honored. Plus the fact that he is soooo cute! The Dear Jane block is great!
Baby Ralphie is just so cute, - I love cats, use to have a lot of them now none as dear son in law is allergic badly. Now I just have to look at others if I want him to come to my house :)

oh your dresdens look lovely against the black background.
Baby Ralphie is adorable -- as is the quilt!
Your Baby Ralphies are both adorable - the kitty and the quilt! You do lovely work and your colors are wonderful. Quilting is so much fun. Dear Jane is looking great, also. How many blocks do you have made and how many to go? I know there are a lot of them. Love the fabrics you picked out for that quilt, too.
I think your Baby Ralphie quilt is so gorgeous! Love the Dresden block and your choice of fabrics - lucky Ralphie!
Your quilt is lovely and so is the dear jane block...my favorite for sure. You do beautiful work.
the Baby Ralphie is a real charmer. I have been toiling with the idea of a quilt highlight my Cymba cat. Janet
