Baby quilt on the way to Brazil!

I made a little quilt out of scrap to try it out. I'm thinking they can use it on the changing table. The actual quilt is similar, but bigger. I had a great time doodling the birds and rabbits. They're not perfect, but they were fun and I hope the baby thinks so too.

P.S. The cute ankles are my husband. He's a great quilt hanger.

Comments (25)Anita, thread sort of depends on the machine and what it runs best with. My FMQ machine is really fussy and I still struggle to find what to use. I use all cotton as a rule. But, on this one I used Bottomline by Superior in the bobbin. It is finer than most and you get more on the bobbin. I think it's polyester. On top I used plain cotton, cone says Signature 40wt on it but often I use King Tut because my machine likes it best. I probably was out of the off white color that day. I really want my machine to use heavier cotton threads like 12 or 20 weight but still can't seem to get the settings right to keep it from breaking. I'll figure it out one day....See MoreI finished a quilt!! Gift/Baby Quilt
Comments (14)I need to find the post of the quilter here that had a penny hidden in her quilt as a child. I couldn’t find any references on line about it, but penny's always seem lucky, like finding one is supposed to bring you good luck. The new mom loved the quilt! I forgot to get a picture of the baby with it. Rose was sleeping and not happy when she woke up!...See MoreLatest baby quilt is finished
Comments (7)Bev, I have a Baby Lock Tiara. It's a sit-down long-arm quilter, I guess you'd call it. I almost always quilt a meandering pattern, because it's fast (relatively) , and I just want to get it done. It's not my favorite part of making a quilt. I have done a Baptist fan pattern with a ruler, but that was really slow. I'm not a fan of heavily-quilted quilts. I think you sacrifice the cuddle factor with too much quilting....See MoreAnother baby quilt finished
Comments (11)Yes, polardream, that's wide rick-rack. The shop that was selling the pattern also had the rick-rack. I followed the pattern's directions and sewed close to each edge so when it's washed it won't curl up....See More
