Just finished a baby quilt top

last year

I had several yards of the Robert Kaufman elephant print that I'd gotten for $2.99 a yard for 54" fabric (which I've never seen before), so I found some coordinating fabric in my stash and put together this little top. The backing and binding will also be the same elephant print. Now I just need a baby who likes orange, blue and green.

Every baby loves those colours!

I am working on a baby quilt for great grandson due in a few weeks. For some reason, I dragged my heels and just could not get started. I was trying to use some fabric left from a ggd’s quilt, as a focus fabric. And I was not using any particular pattern, making it up as I went along. First, I was going to do pinwheels, then changed to stars. Give me a pattern and I will follow it religiously, make up my own, different story. Now, after getting blocks done, I have had to abandon using the focus fabric, so on to plan B or is it C or…?

very nice, I do need to learn to applique. I got a free lesson with my machine and I have done it before but should take advantage of the free lesson. Deanna

Thanks everyone! Marsha - the other one has sailboats and I need to sew the binding and it will be done & I will post pictures. Lois, you are so right about not wanting to use huge amounts of the fabric. When our son & DIL said to make it Disney princesses I almost gulped because I couldn't figure out what to do ... fussy cutting seemed liked the best option! I still need to make a label - think I will just put year and made by me since they are not telling anyone her name yet! Or maybe made for Princess and their last name, then the date, and my name. What do you think? Sue

Sue, Really cute!!! I always make baby quilts a good size so they can be used longer. I was told today that the 13 year old twin girls I made baby quilts for are still using them! The mom said that one of them just likes to hold it and run her hands over it.

I've run out of projects so you have inspired me to make baby quilts. I don't have any babies yet but if I make the size the same, they could go to a nursing home as a lap quilt. Thanks for the ideas.

If they didn't like orange before, they will now. That is cute as it can be.
