Baby lap Quilt

 Once upon a time, and quite some time ago, 
I fell for these little beauties that came in a charm pack.

My fun with them lead into making 4 patch block units.


 Pretty soon I had the top formed and ready to sandwich .
And once together, working in some Freemotion Quilt stitches on each unit.


The variety of choices among the pre cut squares made for a lot of fun with all the pretty prints


And I am loving using the black prints along with the coral & turquoise combined together.
I added a black print that had white dots for the sashing, framing, and binding.

A 4 Patchwork block made with beautiful prints can become a striking quick lap quilt.
This one was simple and with lots of fun, and shall be gifted either as a baby or lap quilt.

My latest Quilt

Been busy finishing up with a new baby quilt this weekend. I decided 2 weeks ago, to make another Puff/biscuit/pillow quilt.  As soon as I located and purchased fabric for the puffs, I was right on it.  And to my luck, I already had a bag of filling and plenty of muslin for the backside to make the pillowing puffs. All I needed was the rainbow of pastel fabrics.  For this quilt, color choices included yellow and purple  with a few coordinating prints with hints of pink  after all, this is to be made for a newborn baby girl just born last week! I'm almost done today  and rather excited for it to be soon gifted.  However first, wanted to organize my journal progresses and edit my notes.  That made me begin to wonder, how many quilters really do journal their progresses  with notes, and as one is working on a project or quilt. I began to note how much better my work was flowing and as I kept up on my notes....
