New Baby Quilt

No automatic alt text available.

Someone I work with is having a baby girl. It's her first and she needs lots of baby items. She always talks to me about sewing so I decided to make her a quilt. I needed 27 squares measuring 10" by 10".  I had a partial pack of blocks leftover from a layer cake that I had used for a previous baby quilt. I decided to add some solid fabrics to make up the difference. I used primary colors.

This is a Quilt in A Day pattern. You make the squares into 9 patches and then cut them down into blocks. I need to buy some fabric for the sashing and binding. It will only take me a few hours to machine quilt. It's not very large.


I had some leftover pink yarn and decided to make her a pair of baby booties. I finished one bootie this afternoon! I love quick projects!! I can't wait to give her these gifts!

  3. She will love them. Love the cute bootie. I am waiting on hearing whether I need to make a girl or boy quilt so I can get started. My nieces cousin that I did the wedding sunflowers for last fall is due in Feb.
