I made this super soft and squishy baby blanket the other day. It was a quick project, just simple 6" squares in pretty girly fabrics randomly stitched together. Pure joy, I'm telling you :).
I used polyester high loft batting to make it extra poofy ...
...and simple stitch all the way around the perimeter and turn right side
out through the hole method (proper tutorial here) to finish it off without any
need for binding.
I hand quilted it using perle cotton #8. I even hand stitched the opening closed using same big stitches and I absolutely love how it looks.
And, after seeing this comfy little blanket my oldest daughter asked for one of her own, which I'm more than happy to make, of course. She even chose her fabrics already. I think they'll make a stunning blanket.
Have a lovely day, everyone. And thanks for stopping by. Svetlana
Simple and Sweet.... always a great choice!! Nice. Thanks for sharing. :D
ReplyDeleteBack before I knew how to free motion quilt, all my quilts were made with polyester batting. Had a friend tell me recently that her boys (now in their 20's) loved my quilts and carried them around until they were in pieces. Making me rethink how I make baby quilts, I like your method - I love to hand quilt, I just don't always have enough time. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCute quilt. You have to love poofy, cute and quick baby quilts.
ReplyDeleteOh those fabrics!! Love that baby quilt and I can tell your daughter's quilt is going to be fabulous too!
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed by your hand quilting on all your quilts - I really really like the look it gives
So cute and I love the hand quilting stitches. I need to try that. Thanks for sharing :)

ReplyDeleteI just want to cuddle into this quilt, it looks so soft and happy. Your fabric choices are absolutely superb, I can see your daughter inherited your talent with her choices. ;) I have to make a baby quilt using this method at least once, I always forget about it until I'm not making a baby quilt.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love your version and your daughter clearly inherited your eye for color and design!

ReplyDeleteI love your fabric combinations! I so wish I could pair fabrics with such creativity. I'm getting better but have a long way to go. :) Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteSimple square patched quilts are just perfectly comforting, aren't they. I love the hand quilting , it's beautiful. It just looks so squishy and cozy!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I can just about feel the soft bounce of this quilt! The hand stitching is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI used your tutorial to make a Christmas quilt for my family. It is their absolute favorite thing to cuddle with! I am working on a new one that we can use year round...they won't let me put the Christmas quilt away! :)
