Happy Friday! Are you glad the weekend is almost here? I sure am!
I made this quilt earlier this Spring for a friend who had a baby girl. I made a quilt for her first baby ( see it here ) when she was pregnant and made it gender neutral since she didn't find out what she was having. This time, I waited until the baby was born. I'm glad I did - I was able to go all out and make it super girly!
Sewing for babies is one of my most favorite things. The items are small, and the best part - babies don't notice your mistakes!
I adore this tulip fabric. I found it at my local fabric store during Tulip Time. I thought it was the perfect backing for the pink gingham front.
This quilt was easy to sew and would be a perfect quilt for beginners.
Happy weekend!

It's adorable Alissa! You do good work. I haven't stopped by your blog in a while so thought I would drop in to say hi :) Enjoy following along with you on IG - have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Alissa!! You are so talented!! I love your fabric choices.
ReplyDeleteHow long does it take you to make a quilt like this?
It sounds like quilting/sewing is a lot faster than knitting! I would love to learn, maybe someday when I no longer have a j.o.b. during the day. You have so many skills & talents that I envy! What a beautiful baby gift!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love it!

DeleteLove this quilt! Do you happen to know the name of the tulip material? It would be perfect for my baby girls nursery!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm sorry - I made the quilt nearly two years ago and no longer have the fabric information.
DeleteThis is beautiful! Did you by chance ever make a tutorial? I looked but didn't see one. Can you tell me how much fabric you needed?
ReplyDeleteHi Mandy - I'm sorry, I did not do a tutorial. I made the quilt almost two years ago and no longer have the fabric amounts I used. I'm sorry!
DeleteI love this quilt! It makes me happy to look at it! Thanks for sharing 😊
