I have been on a roll making lots of baby quilts. I like to keep several on hand for presents and my girls like to give my quilts as presents. Today's blog post are the baby quilts I have made over the last three months.
First off a boy quilt. Some polar bear fabric and using my gray stash fabric makes an cute and easy quilt.
Next a pink and white quilt which the pink and pattern came in my Sew Sampler box
Number three came from the Sew Sampler box, too. This one was a Moda Pre-cut called Jolly Bars and a booklet was included in the box also.
Next up my old stand-by pattern, Colorblock Quilt (pattern here). This quilt has been gifted, to a coworker's grandson. The fabric came from my local quilt shop just before she closed. I did quite a bit of shopping that last month and I have a nice selection of quilting fabric!
I used all the scraps I had left and made the binding from those scraps.
Now for the next to the last quilt, another girl one and the fabric came from Sew Sampler Box again.
I found the pattern in one of my books but sorry I don't remember it.
This is a very soft and pastel quilt with not much hue variation in the color families.
Lastly, this one is from a fat eighth bundle from Sew Sampler again. I found this pattern on Pinterest and didn't save it. I really am going to have to take better notes! Sorry
I had this one quilted in a hexie pattern, finding inspiration from the top corner above and the cute hexie fabric.
I have a nice selection now but still need more boy quilts. The other night I could not sleep and headed to my sewing loft. Instead of turning on the machine, I just got out my quilting books and my fabric. The books provided inspiration and I started cutting quilts, baby and queen size quilts. I have them nicely organized in storage containers. These containers make it easy to pull out a project for home or on Wednesday nights with my sewing friends.
These are such cute quilts. Like you I sew both quilts and garments making quilts as an easy break from sewing fitted garments. For me, it's all about the fabric so there's no fancy/heirloom quilts coming out of my studio. Your girls are so lucky they can count on you to have a ready stash of baby quilts. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely baby quilts. Like the quilting on them too
ReplyDeleteThey are all so pretty. I love the simple blue and white one. Sometimes the simplest patterns are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe boy polar bear quilt is adorable! Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteHOW YOU CAN RECOVER YOUR LOST CRYPTO/FUNDS: Lost hope in a crypto scam? I got my $394,330 back! I invested $430,000 in a bogus crypto site. Big returns promised, withdrawals blocked, extra fees demanded – it was a nightmare. Feeling trapped, I even considered the unthinkable. My family helped me through it, and my niece suggested HACKERSTEVE911. They'd helped her with grades, but I'd never thought of them for this. I contacted them, expecting little. But within four days, they recovered $394,330 back to my wallet! My hope, my life, was back. If you're in a similar situation, don't lose hope. Contact them on hackersteve911@gmail.com
