Zeke will arrive in March 2016. We're anxiously awaiting that call! His brother Jonathan, and his sister Esther both have toppocinos. So there are several covers already there. A topponcino is a small mattress made of layers of batting and muslin. The shell of the mattress is muslin. They're elliptical and provide support for the new baby. The nice thing about using a topponcino is when you're putting the baby down, he's still feeling supported by the mattress. There are 5 layers of batting, alternating with muslin. They're an ellipse shape, about 26x 16 inches. The covers are made with three pieces, so the back piece can over lap for the mattress to be inserted. http://www.voilamontessori.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Topponcino-VoilaMontessori.pdf

This is a quilt I made for my granddaughter who turns one in May. The center is a panel from the Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle for Andover Fabrics and the piecing and backing are from the same line. I found the pattern online from an old issue of Fons and Porter Love of Quilting from May/June 2008. Since it is a birthday present I wanted the quilting to be special so I sent it to MSQC and had it done in the flutterby pattern with little butterflies scattered all over.

This was a kit from Craftsy that I made for my Grand-Niece. She is 15 months old. I also sent it with four of the Dr. Suess books. The kit was easy to follow and made a larger size baby quilt so I called it a toddler quilt. It came with a panel with the different books and fabric to make the rest. I purchased the backing fabric separately. My great-niece loved it and sat on it with the books.
