Baby Quilt For A Very Special Girl

Finally I can show this quilt here after the baby girl is born and the quilt has been gifted!

The design is called 'Crossing Canoes', and I was fortunate enough to be able to cut out the block pieces with my Accuquilt cutter. 

25 'Crossed Canoes' blocks  makes up a quilt of 44" square, before wash and dry cycle. It is quilted by myself in a heart and loops FMQ design.  

The quilt back is very interesting, it is pieced by 11 different pieces of  'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' fabric. This quilt back may be even more popular than the front for the little baby girl!  

 

The latest charity quilt

 

I totally forgot to blog about my latest charity quilt that I made in March, but better late than never, so here it is:

This quilt was designed by @ladybugsew and the pattern was published in @quiltemagasinet .

The size is 39" x 54", great for a young child. I like the design very much, and I had the perfect fabric line in my stash to make it;  Birchtreelane by Connecting Threads.

It is quilted by myself with the walking foot.

This is my second charity quilt for the year 2025, and number 113 all time for the children's ward at the hospital.

Keep on quilting!

 

New Colorwash Quilt

 

My third colorwashquilt was a joy to make, I love the process! A great way to use scraps, using Terry Rowland's tutorial, @trowstudios.

The very colorful baby quilt is even more fun when looking at the backing, consistingn of seven different pieces of The Very Hungry Caterpillar fabric, seven pieces for this one.

Finished size 39" x 45". 

This is my first charity quilt for the year 2025, and number 112 all time for the children's ward at the hospital.

Keep on quilting!

Last Quilt in 2024

 

My last quilt finish for 2024 is this cute one with tiny cars in a checkerboard design. I added a blue border which completed the quilt to a 39" square size, perfect for a small child.

A quilt finished in December must be photographed in the snow! A scrappy binding gives a nice touch to the quilt.

The backing is a fun and colorful clown print. The quilt is freemotion quilted by myself on my domestic sewing machine .

This is my sixth charity quilt for the year 2024, and number 111 all time for the children's ward at the hospital.

Keep on quilting!

Christmas Quilt for Charity

  

It is late November, the snow has arrived and Christmas is right around the corner. I used a FQ from Riley Blake to make this winter themed patchwork quilt.The finished size is 43" x 56". Quilting is done with the walking foot.

 

The backing is filled with tiny, colorful Christmas trees. I haven't made many Christmas quilts before, but this time I felt like using a festive bundle from my stash for a charity quilt. It will hopefully brighten up the days for a sick child in the hospital during the dark days of Advent.

This is my fifth charity quilt for the year 2024, and number 110 all time for the children's ward at the hospital.

Keep on quilting!

 

 

Colorwash Quilt for charity

 

It is always fun to make a colorwash quilt from scraps and leftovers. I'm using the technique presented by Terry Rowland from @trowstudios . The different colored blocks glides into each other almost seamlessy.

The backing is a print of super cute puppies. This one will be popular with a small child.

This is my fourth charity quilt for the year 2024, and number 109 all time for the children's ward at the hospital.

Keep on quilting!
