Comments (2)No it's not but very pretty. The one I'm looking for alternates the blocks. One haves a pink gingham heart and the next block is white eyelet . and has 3 sizes of eyelet lace around it. The last block is white muslin with the little lady's name and birthday emroidied on it....See MoreBaby quilt pattern suggestion plz?
Comments (20)Recently made three baby sized quilts. Two of them were the first time for me to EVER follow a pattern! They were easy, used three colors (prints) of 1 yard each. I've done "Picture Frame" and "Oh So Sweet" ..both were about the perfect size for baby quilts. The pic here is just the top, before I finished. The patterns are free here: http://woodvalleydesigns.com/3YardPatterns.htm...See MoreThe Baby Quilt that kept me so busy
Comments (21)@Kay -- geez louise, I still have not gotten around to figuring it out or playing with that quilt. I can post pics of it here, but, this is a DAYLILIES forum ;) Shall I post it under the quilting forum? I sort of flubbed the quilt by ear as I went along. Well, I started out with an inspiration from someone's blog, but realized that her graphics and measurements were pretty off and so ran the numbers through a graph paper/adding machine and came up with something. I don't know how to best approach it and I have no experience doing FMQ. I have a truckload of working vintage machines and I could do a grid (I think I can stay on a grid, 1/4" or so from the seam -- but the seams don't lend themselves to across-the-quilt stitching as they don't align. And what to do for the huge center block? I do have a machine that will do "serpentine" stitching -- simple or "doubled". Okay, so I'll post it here with a few pics. Sorry daylily aficionados. As I say, up page, I was going to use that chenille like dot fleece, but it is not warm. Also I don't want to chase it all over. Maybe I will just use simple low loft cotton batting and the blue print in the top photo (at perimeter). I have so many MUST DOs and this project is falling off the ship. Any ideas of how to just finish this simple stroller sort of blanket? Thanks. Oh, I guess the dimensions are about 36 inches sq, but more of a rectangle. Cotton fabric, unwashed, mostly. Guess that was a mistake?...See Morevasutx (storiedquilts.com)
