This small handmade baby quilt is approximately 33" X 41".  The center of the quilt shows a group of circus performers clowning around while perched on top of toy blocks.  One clown is holding four ballons that spell out the word BABY in bright colors.  The first border is a red stripe, follows by a white area covered in red, green, yellow and blue hearts, then another red stripe. The second border is a blue area with toy blocks and baloons placed around it.  The backing has many children's toys scattered across a white background.  I used a mottled red fabric for the binding and attached it by machine.  The batting is 100% cotton and made by Warm.  The quilting is an all over pantograph of the word CIRCUS and an elephant clown balancing on a tiny ball.  The pantograph was designed by Ellen Munnich.  For quilting I used a white thread from the King Tut line, which is a 100% extra-long staple egyptian cotton.  Please click on the thumbnail images above to get a close up look at the pantograph and the stitching quality.
