This past spring I puchased this pattern
Bloom by V and Co.
And the fabric to make this quilt. I just kept putting it off and putting it off. All that tracing on the fusible web, then cutting and then applying onto the background. Finally, I just had to get to this project but I made it much smaller, baby quilt size in fact.
It was perfect size not to be overwhelming for me to make but yet will be so cute for a little girl
I did stitch around each petal after I fused it onto the backgroud fabric. A better look at the quilting:
My new quilting of late is just baby quilts. I love to make them and have some on hand when a friend or family member has a baby. I look through my little stash of quilts and pick one out that is perfect for the new baby.

Oh My Gosh!!! Lori, that is gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tonia.
DeleteSo beautiful! It's simple, but stunning. Job well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kristine, it was fun to make but so happy I went to the smaller size!
DeleteDid you do the actual quilting? Or do you send them out? If you do it, do you use a pattern to transfer the markings onto the fabric? That is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this quilt! I'm working on finishing my first quilt ever - at shirt quilt for my son- and sent it out to be quilted. I really enjoyed working on the quilt and would like to do more. I had the same question as Linda: Do you do your own quilting? I was so proud of my little t-shirt quilt that I was terrified to send it out!
DeleteThanks Linda, I do send my quilts out to a longarm quilter. She does a stunning job and it is reasonable.
DeleteThanks, Pam, congrats on your first quilt. Your son will love the memories. I do send my quilts out to a longarm quilter in my town.
DeleteSo fresh and pretty. Love the modern design.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Beth, that is what drew me to the pattern. The modern edge
DeleteJust beautiful, as usual.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kris, it was so fun to make.
DeleteSo pretty and girly! Great idea having these on hand for baby gifts!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amanda, everyone is so appreciative of the quilts and I do like making them.
DeleteWhat a beautiful quilt. Simple, yet stunning. Wondered the same question as Linda, "did you do the 'quilting' on this one", because I loved the way there are flowers as well as swirls quilted in. Very, very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa, the quilting is by a longarm quilter and Meredith picked out the design for me.
Deleteso sweet! baby-sized quilts are so much more manageable, and quicker to finish.....and so nice to have on hand :-) great idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Patty. I like the quickness of the baby quilt, i have so many quilts I want to make, not to mention all that quilting cotton out there!
DeleteVery pretty! What are the dimensions?
ReplyDeleteThanks, BJ, it is 38 x 38
DeleteWhat a pretty pattern, you are right perfect for a baby girl! you did a beautiful job.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joen, it turned out better than the picture in my head! LOL
DeleteThat's lovely! The quilting really goes well with the scattering of flowers.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michelle, I love the quilting.
Deletewhat a great idea, a stash of quilts! I promised to make each of my nieces and nephews a baby quilt, but maybe not a good idea considering 2 of my sisters are popping em out ASAP! I was just lamenting that neither of them are interested in finding out the sex so how will I ever be able to make a flower quilt! Perfect idea! :) plus I'll look prepared :)
ReplyDeleteI do like to quilt and there are so many ideas out there I want to try, so baby quilts seem the solution. Have fun making all the quilts for your nieces and nephews.
