My brother received the quilt on Friday and sent these pictures
I had so many scraps left over after I'd finished the quilt that I decided to make my brothers grandson, Ryan, 5 months old, a baby quilt. Here is Ryan:
I made this one a little differently, joining the blocks with narrow strips (2" wide for top fabric, then ironed in half and 1 1/4 " wide strips of the backing fabric - no batting since they butt). Picture of narrow strips:
I also didn't use a border since size wasn't a consideration. The quilt was 3' X 4', 12 blocks and 1/3 the size of the queen size quilt. I used some striped fabric for the backing except for 2 left over squares of olive from the other quilt. Made it interesting.
Yep, that is the joy of leftovers!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors, Beth! And as if a queen wasn't enough sewing, you had to make a smaller one! I'm sure your brother and the little one will enjoy these for a very long time!
ReplyDeleteMy brother loves his and this is the third baby quilt I've made for his 3 grandchildren. They were so fast and easy to make.
