Baby Quilts

Baby Quilts???

As it happens, as of late, I have been commissioned to make a few baby quilts ...

but, I've also ended up making a few baby quilts purely by chance. 

These "by chance" baby quilts are the result of using blocks leftover from other projects.

It doesn't always happen but on occasion I end up with extra blocks, or portions of blocks that end up being just enough for a baby quilt.

My sister commissioned me to make a couple of baby quilts as gifts this summer.

Old Glory

For a baby boy due in July

And I started this Modern Hexagon quilt for a little girl due in June.

But after talking with the mom to be, my sister requested a floral baby girl quilt instead.

As you know I'm working strictly from my fabric stash so luckily I had some floral fabrics on hand.

hahahaha!

Old Glory and Flora & Fauna

***Side note ... both babies were born in July. The June baby girl decided to wait until July to make her debut.***

I had a bit more of the floral fabrics and decided to piece them into another floral baby quilt but this time I used a bright pink-ish border. 

This scrap happy baby quilt is the product of my most recent scrap quilt project.

I had enough left to make this hourglass baby quilt top.

The way I figure it, it never hurts to have a few baby quilt tops at the ready.
