This is what I’m currently working on. This baby quilt top centers around 10 inch squares, surrounded by 2 inch squares. I have the piecing completed and have pinned the top, batting and backing all together. It’s ready to be quilted.  The fabric is “Sleepytime” by Moda Fabrics.

Next step? Move my sewing machine to a larger table that can support the length of the quilt so it’s not trying to pull out of the machine while I’m trying to quilt it. I’ll be rearranging my sewing room this afternoon!

    Louise – That’s exactly what I was going for! It’s a gift for a friend and I’m not sure of the sex of the baby. The backing fabric is green, so it can go either way! Thanks for stopping by! :-D

    Jude – Thank you very much for the nice compliment! This one cost me about $70 for the materials and I made it as a gift. I wouldn’t be able to duplicate it exactly, but I know I could get close. If you’re interested, I’d be happy to discuss making another similar one for you.

    That is the MOST adorable baby quilt I’ve seen in a long time :)
    You’re right about the table and fabric. I finally switched desks to accomodate more fabric – but what I really need is a larger room!

    Duni – I would LOVE a bigger room! I might just have to take the daybed out of my sewing room, although, it’s very handing for stacking projects! :-D

    Lynne I really wish I could afford to commission one because I love your work, that would be a great gift for the new little guy, but I’m afraid right now he will be stuck with a Harley Bear like the other 5.

    Jude – I completely understand. This particular baby quilt cost more than most of the ones I’ve been making. I definitely splurged on the fabric, I just couldn’t resist it.
    I have a couple others lined up in my “to-do” project bin and will post pics whenever I get to those. If you’re ever interested in anything, feel free to let me know.
