The center rectangles were just swapped around so the fabrics contrast.
This is repeated and the blocks are put together. The seams are a mess however. I ended up ironing a lot while putting the blocks together. However, it did work out very nicely. I machine quilted all over little loops.
I also bought a panel for the back. I thought it would be fun for the baby to see some animals instead of my blocks! I like the idea of a 2-sided baby quilt. More things for the baby to explore. I hope it's loved and well used!
Rosemary this is adorable...
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Sally! Hope you're feeling better!!
DeleteLOVE it xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diane! I love making baby quilts!
DeleteIt is so cute! And thank you for the tutorial! It will be a treasure for years to come!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bellezza! Hope it's useful! It's not too hard and makes a great quilt pattern.
DeleteWhat a pretty quilt. You did a great job on it.!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I used mostly scraps! I always have lots of pinks in my stash!
DeletePutting the panel on one side and the blocks on the other is a great idea. I'll have to try and remember that next time a baby quilt is needed.
ReplyDeleteThis is the second time I've used a panel on one side and blocks on the other. It seems to work out well! Let me know if you try it!
DeleteI love this quilt. The pattern and colors are so sweet. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words!
DeleteWhat an adorable quilt! It's hard to believe that the seams are a "mess"! I bet you are being too hard on yourself.
ReplyDeleteI fixed them as I sewed the blocks together. Worked out much better after that!
DeleteThis is darling. I have a baby quilt on the horizon. Never thought to use a block like disappearing 9 patch. I love the back too! Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThis block worked out really well for a baby quilt. So glad you liked it! Let me know if you try it!
DeleteLucky baby such a beautiful gift. I have not seen the disappearing 4 patch before but today I have seen two very different quilts and they both look amazing. You make it look easy.

Thank you! This block uses small pieces of fabric so it's great to use up your stash. Baby quilts are fun since they work up so quickly. If I can do it, it's not very hard!!
DeleteI love your idea about a double-sided baby quilt. Very cute. Thanks for showing how to make the pattern, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comment! So glad you visited my blog today!
