Make things.

Baby (girl) quilt finish

It's finished! Whoot-Whoot.

 

Baby (girl) quilt. 30" x 30"

It's not quite as large as I wanted it, but the idea was to make a small baby quilt that could be used  in a car seat or a carrier that wouldn't drag on the ground.

I used a loftier poly batting so the quilt is warm and has a nice, puffy feel. Minimal quilting on the diagonals makes this a light and fluffy, snuggly, baby quilt.

Next week, I'll finish my Baby (boy) quilt. It's about the same size, although seeing this finish makes me want to add a small border to have it finish at about 32" square, but we'll see how it goes.

Have a great weekend!

Baby (girl) quilt

I've been working on my baby girl quilt today. I was able to piece the back, make the sandwich and get it mostly quilted. I'll work the quilting a little bit more when my daughter goes to sleep - if she ever goes to sleep - tonight.


Here are some photos of the progress:

This is a triangle that I made but decided not to use on the back

I decided to go with just a strip for the back which I cut in half to make two strips

The quilting in process

 This is my second time using the spray baste and the brand that I used doesn't stop the pieces from shifting. I'm not really happy with it. Also, it smells horrible and I even used it in a very well ventilated room. I don't know - I'm not impressed so far. I suppose I still needs some more practice using it. I'm stitching on the diagonal and then 1/4" away from that line. I'm using a pink thread on the top and the bobbin - I like to be able to see the stitches. I may add another quilting line, but I haven't decided yet. I'll add the binding tomorrow and have a completed, small quilt for Friday! Whoo hoo!
