Baby Quilts

Baby Quilts

Baby quilts are really a lot of fun to make. There are so many patterns to choose from these days. You can also put some squares together to make simple baby blocks but I always look for something more or different. The quilt that is shown here is a Strawberry Shortcake quilt I made for a very special little girl. I had a hard time finding the fabrics I wanted but I didn't give up. I finally found all the fabric I needed and started sewing. I loved how the quilt turned out!

I will say right after I started this quilt we had two very sad tragedies that broke ours hearts! Both of our fur babies were killed. So this made it really hard for me to work on this quilt. However, I learned so much from it. I learned it's hard to make something that is creative and full of passion when you are blue!!! I also learned no matter what try to push forward and remember the saying, "try, try again"! I took this quilt apart many, many times and that's okay :) Sometimes the world plots against you and you just have to fight back :)

 

 

The quilting was fun (it's always the best part) I did a couple of different quilting ideas, stitch in the ditch, free motion, straight line and diagonal lines. I plan to do another one in this and make a pattern when I do I post the pattern.
