Baby Quilts

Oh, hello!

It's been quite awhile since I've checked into my blog. I've been working on two baby quilts for my youngest granddaughters who are both now almost 3-years old. I had planned to make these quilts long before now, but God had other plans.

I've been quilting for about 17 years, but I still consider myself a beginner quilter. You can see below that my corners do not line up perfectly, after all these years...


These quilts are just simple, cot-sized, patchwork quilts made up of 6-inch blocks. I machine-quilted both quilts, instead of tying them with embroidery floss. I also added blocks cut from my husband's favorite t-shirts in remembrance of him. He would have loved to have met these sweet little granddaughters.

Both granddaughters love pink, so a pink fabric is either on the front, or the back of each quilt...


My Alaska granddaughter's quilt includes my husband's sage green t-shirt, and fabrics with blueberries, flowers, and hearts...


And my Minnesota granddaughter's quilt includes my husband's salmon-colored t-shirt, and fabrics with bunnies, flowers, and hearts...


They're not perfect, but they're soft and cozy, and made with so much love.

Until next time,

Peace and blessings,
