Multi Stripe Baby Quilt

Sorry I haven't posted much for awhile. I've been busy with my other blog.

This is my favorite thing that I have quilted lately. I admit - it pieced it too. But the quilting might be my favorite part. It came out just how I envisioned - or even better.

Piecing this quilt was a blast. Super easy, and exciting to see it come together. If you want to make your own, you can purchase my downloadable instructions from the Etsy shop. Only $1.25 - what a bargain. Or you can just read my tutorial for it here.

I really love the front of the quilt - but the back is to die for. I really really love it. So much that I am giving it away today. Lucky little unborn baby. Oh and lucky mom too.

Flowers Baby

Soon there will a be a new baby girl on earth, and this quilt is waiting for her. Isn't she lucky? I took this picture a few weeks ago, before my own baby was sick, and I guess I forgot the close ups. Sorry guys. The flower border I quilted was the highlight of quilting on this quilt. The rest I kept pretty simple.

Spring Green Baby

I wish I knew the pattern of this quilt, (I should have asked.) It is in the Yellow Brick Road style. I love the checker board chenille and the ric rac accents. Because the chenille is hard to quilt on, and I didn't want to smash it, nor did I want to quilt on the ric rac, I did a loose floral and leaf meander.

Red Hearts Baby

I like how this quilter broke the red/pink barrier. These romantic prints make such a sweet baby quilt! I believe this is a Buggy Barn pattern.

I quilted each heart with two hearts inside of it. The square the heart is in is stippled and the borders of each block are either tall loops or daisy flowers. The outer border is a simple leaf vine.

Twisted Sister

I am having so much fun piecing quilts, maybe I will never go back to maching quilting for others. Nah - I like to do your stuff too! This is another pattern that I am addicted to. It is called Twisted Sister, and I will get you more info if you want, but it is late and the pattern is way downstairs. This patterns comes with a rotary cutting template which makes it a little pricey, but well worth it. The template thing kind of freaked me out, plus you sew the template pieces around the center piece, so you have to leave the first piece partially unsewed, and then finish it up when you get all of the pieces sew around. It was easy! I have another one of these in the works.

It is not very often that I think the back is so cute that it could stand on its own, but this one was almost just as cute on the reverse!

Baby Wreath

I thought you might like a back view of this quilt as the quilting is easier to see. I love the soft and rich colors in this quilt, as well as the applique. The vine on the wreath is chenille ric rac. Nothing is happier than ric rac. You can see the swirl meander in the center of the wreath with swirls, leaves and flowers on the outside of the wreath. The outer border is my favorite floral border with leaves and the inner border is loops.

Ducky

If the ducks in this quilt haven't got you smiling - well I just don't know what to do about that! I love this baby quilt I did today. The quilting consists of swirl meander, loops, stars, and I even quilted the word "Quack" into it a few times. I couldn't resist. Maybe I'll go take the kids to the park to feed the ducks.
