My Baby Girl's Bohemian Quilt

I've always loved quilts. Especially the old-fashioned ones that are quilted by hand with yarn instead of machine quilted. I think quilting is a fabric art form.

I'm just getting started on my first quilt. I'm very excited to make a simple quilt for my little girl. Although she is a baby,  I didn't want the quilt fabrics to be too juvenile. I plan on taking my time making the quilt because I want it to be something heirloom than can grow with her. I don't plan on making any intricate blocks, I do plan on appliqueing her name on one of the blocks. I've been watching tons of instructional videos on youtube on quilting and binding but feel free to leave me a comment with any quilting tips or advice. I'm cutting my blocks 4 1/2 inches.

Here are the fabrics that I picked:


Tula Pink Parisville Eye Drops Dusk by Free Spirit
City Blooms Damask Chocolate by Benartex
Twilight Pond by Art Gallery/Pat Bravo
City Blooms Damask Lime/Pink by Benartex
Damask in Plum by Free Spirit/Joel Dewberry
Light Chic Paper by Art Gallery/Pat Bravo
Full Moon Dot in Lime by Amy Butler
Sari Blooms in Moss by Amy Butler
