Adventures in Baby Quilts

Greetings and welcome!  This month's post is about a baby quilt.  I appreciate any excuse to practice free motion quilting and had a great opportunity to make a simple baby quilt for a friend.  I'm pleased with the way it came together and I hope the family enjoys the blanket, too.


Top: I tried a new suggestion from a social media group... safety pins instead of straight pins to hold the pieces together.  Turns out, it works quite well!  I ended up with fewer pin pricks while quilting, which is always a plus!  The other thing I tried is a fabric pencil to sketch out the free motion design... I was able to keep up with where I was going!  Double win!

Bottom: The "thirds rule" worked well for this quilt.  It kind of has a "sky-land-ocean" feel to me.  Also, I think it worked well to have the thread blend in with the fabric.

Overall, I think this one is a success.  Stay tuned for more Adventures!


Blessings and Peace!
