The baby quilt finished, sweet dreams
Hi, yep I finished the baby quilt and I can't help but feel pretty pleased.
When I rashly said I would make a quilt for a new arrival I didn't really have any ideas about how I was going to set about doing it. Then I remembered that Jenna at SewHappyGeek had posted a tutorial for a sweet baby quilt.
I had decided on a bright mix of colours with white for the quilt front and for the backing I chose some spotty fabric to tie in with some of the other fabrics I used. Stippling the whole quilt was a bit tricky and I think I should have made my pattern more open but it was all a learning experience.
I'm sure the new baby won't notice the imperfections snuggled up having a nap.

It is just beautiful! I love the strips of white to really allow the patterns and colours to shine, and your stitchery must have taken ages and ages ... I bet this will be treasured for generations. :)
I love it. Lucky new babe.
What a lucky baby, oh my word, it's just gorgeous
It's beautiful. Well done you. I know, from experience, how long these things take ;) Love the bright colors popping out from the white and - wow! - that stippling is amazing. Congratulations!
That's a great baby quilt! The quilting gives it so much texture :-)
its lovely Amanda - and i'm sure it will be treasured for years x
I love the looks of this baby quilt, Amanda! Like you said, I'm sure the baby (or anyone else for that matter) won't notice any imperfections!
When I was with my grandma last month and she was showing me how to crochet she said the unthinkable: "If you mess up just keep going. No one will ever notice!" And here I thought all of her afghans were perfect!?!?! ;o)
I love your baby quilt and I'm sure you're the only one who will notice any imperfections. Thankyou for your kind comments on my blog.
Well done for finishing it! It looks gorgeous. I love the choice of fabrics and your stitching skills are amazing!
