Another Baby Quilt


Well, here it is.  Another baby quilt top finished.  I have been busy sewing, but not a lot to post.  I have been working with exchange blocks, and UFOs, donation quilts, and baby quilts.

I donated a darling quilt last week to my quilt guild Community Quilts group, but I forgot to get a picture before it was gone.  Silly me!  I do that all too often.

This baby quilt top was finished this morning.  I saw this fat quarter packet in a catalog.  I thought it was so cute so I ordered it.  When I received the packet, I then realized the fabrics were very light.  Not my favorite style of fabrics, but it fit well into the need for a baby quilt.

This quilt is for a baby boy who is due next month.  I used an easy FQ pattern that I have used before.  It went together quickly.  I like to use this pattern because I know it is a sure thing!  No stress other than deciding which fabrics to use where. 

DH said because the fabrics are so light, the picture would not be good.  I agree with him about the fabrics being light colored, but I think the picture is clear enough so you can see the pattern.

Summer is almost over.  I have three quilt projects due in September.  I have two done, and I am working on the third project which is the largest project of the three.  I also have been squeezing in other things along the way like making some crumb blocks, some Lego blocks, and my never ending project of cutting pieces from my scrap fabrics into usable shapes.  I do not know if I will ever get through all my scraps, but it sure is fun trying!

Happy Scrap Quilting
