These days it seems that I'm always getting a phone call that a friend is pregnant or just had a baby. I love it! It does keep me busy making gifts for the little bundles of joy. Within the past few days two beautiful baby girls have made their arrival - both earlier than expected, so I'm hurrying to get gifts in the mail! I found a wonderful tutorial for His and Her's Personalized Baby Quilts at Moda Bake Shop. I used fabrics from Amy Butler's Soul Blossoms line and I was so excited when the fat quarter bundle (of the entire collection, eek!) arrived from Fabric Worm. I love, love, love the elegant simplicity of the quilt with the boldness of Soul Blossoms!
Here is the finished product:
Because it is physically impossible for me to exactly follow any pattern or tutorial, I backed this little quilt with white nylon. The waterproof side will be perfect for spreading out in the grass for a little tummy time! I hope Stella and her mommy and daddy love this quilt as much as I do!
Do you make lots of baby gifts? What is your favorite gift to make for the little ones? I would love to hear about what you are creating!
Love this quilt! It's so happy!
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt! Did you applique the name before you put the backing on and quilted or did you quilt after the applique was complete?
