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!
