I had started working on it when I received the invitation in the mail. This is a panel that came with a grouping of fat quarters. I had the panel left over, so I thought I would try to use it for a quilt. So I added the piecing and borders. I hope the new Mom likes it. Here is the back:
I had purchased the walking animals to add to the fabric that I had. I tried to get it all centered. Sometimes I am not the greatest at getting the back to look centered and nice.
I, also, sewed this basket. When I wrapped the items to be delivered, I put a whole container of Huggies Diapers in the basket. I should have taken a picture, because it is nice how the basket fits all of the Huggies. Plus, it makes the basket sturdy so it won't get all squashed in the box.
Of course, we always have some leftover fabric, so I sewed these burp cloths:
I like to sew a seam breaking them in thirds so that they are easy to fold when they come out of the wash.
Lastly, I sewed this little toy for little hands.
I am linking to Elm Street April OMG since the quilt was my goal for April. Here is my: original April post.

I love the extras you make. Do you need to be careful about the kind of ribbons you use?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, they are ribbons from JoAnn fabric, not necessarily wrapping ribbons. I had seen another quilter make a quilt with ribbons attached for a baby, so I thought they might be ok. Maybe I should have considered it more. Although, I did not cut these so they should not fray if baby puts them in his mouth.
DeleteVery sweet. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and congrats on your finish.
