This is the beautiful quilt that my mom made for baby boy #3! She called it Cat's and Aliens and put minky on the back. It's so soft and cute and cuddly. the perfect size for the crib! Thanks mom!!!!
Mom cut and ironed 6 double receiving blankets for me and I quilted and edged them all. They each have a different shape quilted and I tried different combos of colors for the edging. I'm really happy with them all!
These are the single blankets mom hemmed for me....and yes, I did need all these blankets. Two boys with the same blankets make for some well-used blankies!
This gorgeous and fabulous blanket Kinsey made for me! I love all the applique stuff she did and she quilted a million stars on as well. Thanks Kizzy for finishing it for me!
And of course bibs and burp rags! We had tons of fun quilting, choosing fabric, shopping, etc! When mom gets her quilt done I'll post some pics up here!
I have made this quilt 2x now. Basically I made enough squares for 3 baby quilts and have assembled 2 now. I used an assortment of greens and blues with some tan/brown tones in there as well and trimmed both with the dark brown border and green binding It's a very basic rail pattern and I'm really thrilled with the way they turned out. I forgot to take pictures of the first one which I gave to my friend Janice for her baby and this one is for my friend Megan and her baby boy. I machine quilted the horizontal and vertical rows to outline the main squares and then traced squares onto the border which I machine quilted as well. The first binding I hand finished and this one I machine finished. I like the plain flannel on the back as the front is so busy and I also think it brings the pattern of machine quilting out better. I plan on using a brown flannel for the third one.
The picture of the words didn't come out well...but it says:
If you're a quilter send me some pictures or thoughts or whatever!
