My niece had her first baby this past summer. I think a quilt for a baby should be something they can grow into and still like as they age. A Giant Vintage Star quilt at 60” square fills that requirement.

Rainbow Swoon

Thimbleblossom’s Swoon had been on my radar for some time but I couldn’t commit to a fabric theme. A photo on Pinterest of someone’s rainbow themed Swoon decided for me.

Dashing Stars

BLOCK magazine pattern Dashing Stars. Loved this huge block design. I wanted the secondary pattern of squares to look less random so I partially completed the blocks, laid them out and then finished the outer edges with the preferred ‘snowball’ colour for the secondary block.

Vintage Star

Quick large block design for a retirement quilt for a coworker. Straight line quilting on my domestic machine following the diagonal base lines to make 4 ‘V’ patterns in each quadrant was easy but effective.

Crazy Quilt

While packing up to move, I found this almost finished quilt I made with 9 FQs; it needed a label and finishing of the binding. I embroidered a small design on each of the base blocks and played with my specialty stitches and coloured thread along each seam. It was made about 8 years ago and I’m quite sure it was a line from Red Rooster fabrics.

Baby Miller

HSTs cut on my AccuQuilt from scraps and a few purchased FQs. I decided on a feature block pattern by moving the HSTs around and quickly decided I wasn’t patient enough to make all the blocks so detailed. So, 4 patches were added in between to get the quilt to a desired size. Machine embroidered a name and gifted to baby Miller at a fun family event.

Giant Block

My 2 girls had the same teacher for 4 years between the 2 of them. We made a simple pattern with very few seams so the girls would be able to piece the top without lots of frustration in sewing it together. It’s made of wovens and is 80x80. I quilted it using a dot to dot format.
