Baby Quilts.

I love giving away quilts! To give something away that was handmade, and sewn with lots of love.

The next few post are quilts that I have made and then given away. I hope you can get some ideas from these quilts. I want to start posting the patterns I used, but I don't know how to upload them......yet! 

I made two of the quilt above for my cousin and second cousin.

They were born only a month apart.

   This is a close up so you can see the fabrics I used. I tied the quilt for a simple look.

I sewed a strip of the main fabric across the back of one of the quilts. I wanted to try something new. I like the look of both the plain back and the added strip. The strip down the back is very easy to add.

It is also nice if you are a little short on backing and need a few more inches.

 I should have started with this quilt, it was the first baby quilt I ever gave away. I gave it to my cousin Abigail.

She is three now, and I LOVE babysitting her!

I made another one of this quilt and gave it to a lady at church who was having her sixth child. She had a girl but these fabrics have enough blue and pink for a boy or girl. Dolls for the girls, toy soldiers for the boys.

I try to find fabrics that could go either way.

Flannel Baby Quilt.

 I never turn down a chance to make a baby quilt for someone, so when the man that my dad shares an office with had their first baby I made them this easy flannel baby quilt.

Irish Chain Baby Quilt.

The Irish Chain pattern is so easy. Just a nine patch blocks and squares.

I whipped this quilt up in a day or so for the newborn daughter of my assistant pastor.

They are expecting another boy soon, so I guess I should start making him a quilt!

I have to admit that this quilt was very hard to give away. The pink fabric has little hearts that are so adorable.

The quilt is so cute, it made a great gift, especially with a matching dress my sister sewed up. 

Gender Friendly Baby Quilt.



 I had two reasons for making this quilt. One- so I could practice sewing with triangles. Two- I needed a gift to give to a new baby at church. I didn't know whether it was a boy or girl, so I added both blue and pink surrounded by yellow, green and a little bit of purple. 

I also used the same pattern to make this little boy quilt.

(Which I aslo gave away!)

If you want a quilt kit of this pattern let me know. I can do almost any colors you want.

 I made this quilt as a give away for a ladies tea at my church. The quilt is garden themed. The main fabric has spades, wheel barrels, and potted plants. All the other fabric are different flowers.

This was a really easy quilt yet everyone liked it. The size is perfect for a summer throw.

A quilt doesn't need to be complicated to be appreciated.

Landscape quilt!

This is my first try at a landscape quilt. I think it turned out very well.

I am new at applique and have only done a few projects with it. This time I used fusible web to attach my designs and am very happy with the way it turned out. It was a little tricky at first, but once I worked with it a little bit I was fine.

I love the ducks!

All the fabrics I used came from a scrap bag I found in a quilt store for 2 dollars.

I had to narrow down what color scheme I wanted, at the begining I was going for a winter setting.

After choosing what color water, rocks, and trees I wanted, I started cutting. I just let the fabric make the design!

I can't wait to finish it! and to enter it into the fair.

Happy quilting,

Anna
