    I’ve done very little sewing since we’ve returned from France but I was able to find a little time to finish this baseball themed baby quilt for baby Everett!

    Here’s another quilt I’ve been working on these past couple of months.  I took the scraps I had from all of the quilts I’ve done and started sewing!  I love looking at all of the different fabrics and remembering the original quits they were used for.  I used fabric from Ikea for the back and binding.

    My latest quilting project. A beautiful pink and orange baby blanket that I gave to friends who just recently had a beautiful little girl, Elsie.  I went to visit momma and baby to give them the quilt and was reminded of how much Annabelle has grown in the last five plus months.  Elsie slept in momma’s arms the entire time I was there.

    What I love about this quilt is that I actually didn’t see the pattern in the quilt until I took pictures of it.  As I was making it I created two types of squares.  One that was striped neutral, pattern, neutral and the other that was striped pattern, neutral, pattern.  Then as I sewed the squares together I alternated the squares and direction they went in.  I never noticed the I’s or dumbbell pattern I created until after sewing the entire quilt.

    I recently gave this quilt to friends of ours who are having a precious baby boy in February.  I’m in love with all of the different patterns you can create with simple triangles.

  • Chenille Baby Blanket

    Since I’ve had Annabelle I don’t have nearly as much time to quilt so when I saw a tutorial for this chenille baby blanket I thought it was the perfect project.  All it includes is four pieces of fabric (3 pieces of flannel and one piece of cotton fabric) and sewing straight lines.  It did end up being a great project because I could sew a few lines during nap time.  And then when everything was sewn I just spent my free time cutting.  I used scissors but if I ever make this blanket again I’ll buy a Olfa Chenille Cutter to make it go faster.

    If I ever make this type of quilt again I’ll purchase coordinating flannel fabrics (something closer to the colors in the tutorial I followed would be good).  These were colors I already had and thenI found the cotton fabric in my stash as a well.  I think this particular quilt would be great for a baby boy.

  • Ticker Tape Quilt

    This last image is after washing the quilt.  The others were taken before I was able to wash the quilt.  It was very stringy after pulling out of the wash, even after having it on delicate but I snipped the strings and essentially it looks the same.

    Inspired by Crazy mom Quilts, Amanda Jean, and her book Sunday Morning Quilts.
    Dimensions: 32″x43″
