Sweet Baby

 

I dived into my stash bins once again and gathered cute fabrics for a baby quilt. This time there is a farm theme with lots of animals.

The backing is a lovely double gauze, so soft and cuddly. The free motion quilting shows off very well on the back.

This is my sixteenth charity quilt for the year, and number 60 all time for the children's ward at the hospital.

Stripes Galore


This time I got hold of lots of striped fabrics and some other nice, colorful prints. This turned into a very cheerful quilt consisting of 192 blocks of finished size 4".

The backing is a colorful sheet .


This quilt demanded an old fashioned diagonal quilting, see how cuddly it got after the quilting was done!

This is my fifteenth charity quilt for the year, and number 59 all time for the children's ward at the hospital.

Blue Charity

I had a bunch of matching fabrics that was perfect for a boy's quilt, different blues with browns and neutrals. The fabrics were cut into 5" squares and puzzled into a pleasing design. I even had room for a single pinwheel block and some improvised blocks from leftovers.


The finished size is 45" x 54" and quilting is done in a cross hatch design with two different golden colored threads. The backing is a brown checkered flannel, which makes the quilt nice and cuddly.

I utilized leftover batting pieces and made a "Frankenbatting" piece that fit exactly, a win in my book! The final touch was a blue and white striped binding.


This is my fourteenth charity quilt for the year, and number 58 all time for the children's ward at the hospital.
