We are expecting a baby girl in early June and I think that nesting has kicked in early! As soon as we learned that she was a girl, I headed to the fabric store. Because my older daughter's room is done up in pinks and greens, I decided to use lilac for this room but wanted a pretty shade that didn't lean toward the drab greys as some lilacs/lavenders do. She will have a small room so I wanted to keep it relatively bright.
I made the twin quilt first and then used scraps from it to make a baby size quilt. The twin quilt was inpired by
this one. I didn't actually use the pattern that she referenced but looked at the idea and mapped out my own version on graph paper. They are likely pretty much the same thing.
The baby sized quilt was inspired by
this one. These quilts were my first attempts at free motion machine quilting. I am pretty happy with the results and can't wait to try more!

I *love* your interpretations of your new DD's baby quilts. I always make my baby-quilts twin-sized. I just got some more purples to make my neice's baby-to-be quilt. I got a really cool background yesterday with bits of lavender in it.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am glad to know that I am not the only one to start with a twin-sized quilt for a baby. It makes perfect sense to me but my family keeps teasing me. "You will be all set when she turns 3" they say!
