I am not sure if I have posted the pictures that I took while putting Baby Woo's quilt together. I was nervous to do it, but like I said before I had to get over being a chicken!
I had quite a collection of pretty vintage fabrics already that seemed to work perfectly together! I picked up a few other bits from Heidi at Becnicks .
And then I started!
Cutting out the square 4.5 x 4.5
Laying out the squares!
Strips done! Ready to be pressed.
half of the strips put together!
QUILTING! Go! little blue go!
The very last row of quilting....I was a little sad it was about to be over I was enjoying the process so much.
I ended up machine sewing the binding too, my hand stitching skills are horrid!
The whole sha-bang!
I was enjoying quilting so much I made a bib too!
:)
Next I want to make some fabric blocks like these! I'm just waiting on the toy stuffing I ordered to arrive.
after the blocks will probably be the crib dust ruffle!
My little blue Jones sewing machine has been the busiest she's been in years! But she's a trooper and running well! My Great Aunt Jenny & Great Grandmother, who were extremely skilled seamstresses, must be looking over my shoulder, making sure everything is going well.
great quilt = clever clever you! the blocks will be great filled with bells and lavender. x
ReplyDeleteI love it!! See, you did awesome on both items and now your daughter will have this precious keepsake her whole life!
ReplyDeleteThanks girls! I never thought of lavender in the blocks! I did consider bells, or a rattle or something.
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe I did it Courtney! But I'm so happy I pushed myself & I hope Baby Woo will treasure it x
