Pastel Baby Quilt



New theme of the week - Quilts.  Last week's theme was all garments red, so why not another theme this week.

I have had a few quilts that have come back from the long arm quilter, they all seem to come back at once!

This one is a quilt Meredith started last fall and it sat on the shelf needing one more row completed.  She had a charm pack and cut it up in these patterns, I am sure she found the pattern on Pinterest.


The quilt sat on the shelf due to the fact, Meredith ran out of charm pack.  I went through my scraps and found a couple pieces that worked with the charm pack colors and finished the quilt.


Thanks to a dear friend we have lots of baby quilt size  batting pieces.  This helps reduce the cost of the quilts and a great way to use up the pieces.


As you can tell, this is another baby girl quilt.  How many baby boy quilts do I currently have in my closet for gifts?  A big fat zero!  One is at the longarm quilters, so that is a start..


This is another cute little quilt, which is no longer an UFO but a lovely gift waiting for a sweet little baby.

Thanks to Meredith for constructing most of this quilt, it took me about an hour to finish it.


Don't forget to enter my current giveaway, celebrating my 8 years of blogging.

Meredith and I  have  more company in the sewing room.  Kaitlyn has decided to do more sewing, which I am thrilled to have more of my girls sewing but leaves us one machine short!  LOL.
