I recently needed to make a quilt for a baby shower at our church. With everything else going on, I did not have much time to commit to the project, but I still wanted to make something special. So I pulled some yardage from my stash in a couple of colors that I liked, cut the yardage in strips by width of fabric, and, voila!
It’s not even properly bound, I just did a pillowcase finish on it. I think it still came out cute though.
Here’s a close-up of the adorable Winnie the Pooh focus fabric, and the fun quilting motif. I got the quilting design from a Kim Diehl book of my mom’s. I love quilting swirlies, and these are even easier than traditional ones! It still took me more than five bobbins, though. I gotta come up with a faster quilting scheme.
Hopefully I’ll have another finished quilt to show you over the weekend.
Happy Stitching!
So adorable! You shouldn’t sell it short. It is handmade, beautifully quilted, adorable, and a labor of love. I’m proud of you! (and can’t wait to see the other one)
Adorable! It’s bright and cheerful. Wonderful.
I’d never heard of a pillowcase finish before. Love the look!
I agree with Elizabeth- the only thing that little love will know is that someone made him/her a special blanket! Very cute!! The baby will love it!!
