Quilts for Babies

Two starters: my pregnant daughter didn’t want to know the baby’s sex till birth, so I made equal parts pink and blue. Second, I had bought Karla Alexander’s Curves for Squares Ruler and had to try it. So I designed this quilt. The name comes from the star blocks and prints as well as the occasion.

A first baby for one of my cousins prompted this quilt. The mama-to-be supplied me with the color theme they’d settled on for the room/bedding, then I dove into my stash like a madwoman. Being unemployed has made me thrifty & adventurous, & I was able to finish this in time for Edison’s arrival.

Cross stitched Bears from Leisure Arts, started when my 22 yo son was a baby. Cross stitch was done, but only quilted last year. I picked the bright colors for boy/girl & tie quilted it. At least it is ready for a grandchild.

Had some bits of bright fabrics I wanted to use for a fun baby quilt but I didn’t want to cut them up small so I decided to make some big bold blocks using soft curves. The finished quilt is fun and playful.

My granddaughters first name is shared with a flower, so flowers became the inspiration for the quilt center. Her middle name, a bird, hence the border print. Mitered borders for her carpenter dad, yellow for mommy and green for big brother make this a truly diplomatic baby quilt. A family project.

This was my first baby quilt (and the biggest one I’ve made so far.) It’s my own design but obviously modeled after the many cross/plus quilts so popular right now. It was made for my husband’s niece who just had her first baby. The label includes a tiny schoolhouse block-my favorite!
