The Finished Baby Quilt

I finished this quilt on Christmas Eve for a gift for my sister Tracy and her husband because they are expecting their second child in February. It's going to be a boy, so I thought these fun cars, robots, owls and bright colors would work well.

I used this fun Cosmo Cricket alphabet print for the back.

Here's a closeup of the front with the overall stipple quilting. The finished size is approximately 50" x 60".

My goal this year is to start blogging more. Let's see if I can do it. We just had my son Troy's 6th birthday party yesterday. Between Christmas, New Year's and Birthday parties things have been busy. I'm ready to have more time to sew.

New Baby, New Quilt

My cousin Danielle's new little boy Landen was born December 18th. I made this colorful quilt for him and gave it to them yesterday for Christmas. It's made from Aldo to Zippy fabrics, plus some other dots and solids.

I love the back with the Aldo to Zippy alphabet panel. Danielle decorated Landen's room with an Ocean theme, so this fabric fits in well. I quilted this one with diagonal zig zags, but forgot to take a close up of the stitching. I used solids for the binding which seemed to tie it together well.

Stacked Coins Quilt

Here are some pictures of my stacked coins quilt. I just finished the binding last week, but had finished quilting it back in November. I got the pattern from Crazy Mom Quilts which was published on Moda Bakeshop. I used Moda's Eva by Basic Grey for this quilt, 2 charm packs and a yard for the binding, and then sashed it with Kona white. I quilted this one with little loops swirling around. I didn't realize that I was making such a tight quilting pattern when I started, but I really like it.

Here's a picture of the back.

Here's a close up on the swirly quilting.
