This morning I finally bound a baby gingham quilt in blue that I have had in my pile for ages. The pattern is our Gingham Quilt Pattern that walks you through how to make both a baby quilt and a Queen size quilt using pre-cut 5 and 10 inch squares. In the past we've sewn up several pink versions as well as grey versions...but never a blue one until today. I really like how it turned out. Especially the binding...I usually bind with stripes or polka dots but today I went ... View the Post
Rail Fence Baby Quilt
While we are all quarantined at home I have been cleaning out my sewing loft and have found quite a few quilts that just needed binding put on them. So silly that I have let them sit there that long with only needing bindings. This rail fence baby quilt was one of them....and the binding was even on one side! It just needed the other side sewn up. If you need directions on making a rail fence quilt block head HERE. This particular quilt is 2.5" strips by 8.5" and there are 4 strips in ... View the Post
Baby Quilt From Scraps
Earlier this spring I put together our Azure Skies Quilt Pattern using some Riley Blake solid fabrics that I really loved.

I had a new baby quilt! It was a super quick sew since the pieces were already cut and were all the ... View the Post
Free Baby Quilt Pattern!
The When Skies are Grey Baby Quilt is a project that we have had on our to-do list forever!!! So when I found the kits already cut and and mostly sewn up (only one border needed to be put on one quilt) I knew I needed to get them finished up. And however many years later, I really do still love this line of fabric so so much! It is so versatile, but makes the CUTEST baby blankets and quilts. So, today we are FINALLY sharing a project that we meant to do when the line first came out (better ... View the Post
Skirting the Issue: Simple Whole Cloth Baby Quilt Tutorial
For Skirting the Issue this year, I am once again trying to find ways to incorporate my kiddos to help. So, before school got out I cleaned out my sewing room and cut lots of pieces of fabric to 1 1/4 yards to make these whole cloth baby quilts.

This Whole Simple Whole Cloth Baby Quilt tutorial is one that any beginning sew-er can do and ... View the Post
Azure Skies Baby Quilt
I have been making a few baby gifts for neighbors recently and this Azure Skies Baby Quilt is one of my favorites! It's made from a rolie polie of both Azure skies and white fabrics and was so simple and fun to make. It's going to a family that was waiting to find out what they were having...but it's a girl so I am glad I ended up adding the pinks and florals (I was debating). The tutorial for the full quilt pattern is below so that you can make one too! Materials: 1 precut roll of ... View the Post
