I used the tutorial from A Crafty Mommy and embellished them a little. I also used the leftover chunk of towel and made an hourglass shaped burp cloth to match each one.
The first one I completed is a deep purple with the sweetest fabric trim:
Simple petal shapes arranged with a circle in the center:
Then I found another type flower with instructions by Quilted Fish, but now I can't seem to find them online. Maybe you're a more persistent googler than I am.
I can just picture that poofy flower on top of a baby's head, can't you?
The last towel took some thought. Even though my flowers were different from each other, flowers were done. This one had to be something else. I thought about an E, since the baby's name will start with an E, but I even struggled to find an E I liked. I wanted soft, feminine, and delicate, but needed something sturdy enough to hold its shape during the applique process. And then I found some printable fabric, right in my local Walmart. I designed a quick little applique piece on the computer, printed it right off & had on the towels in minutes.
Tracy loves anything remotely romantic, so I think this will be her favorite of the 3.
I shipped them out today, with no time to spare for the baby shower that is next weekend.
