Alphabet baby quilt

ABC quilt for Sue No, not me. I have 6 grandkids already! A friend is having her first grand baby soon and has waited SO long for this ...

Great alphabet quilt!

This is Rae's Alphabet quilt and she appliqued all the letters by hand with a blanket stitch. She used a great collection of vintage fabrics for this quilt making it perfect for a baby. I quilted tiny loops in the background and SID around the letters. Then quilted piano keys in the outer border. You can see all the white air bubbles frozen in the ice. I took this picture a few days ago and the ice is now all cracked and cloudy from our warmer temperatures.

ABC's Baby Free Quilt Pattern

My shop recently received some cute kid prints. Included with the line is the adorable panel. The panel is 36" by width of fabric. So I took a panel home along with a backing fabric and binding. This was one of the easiest and fastest kid quilts I've ever made. I quilted it simply by outlining the blocks and going around the "tape measure" border. It took me a little over an hour to baste and quilt it! Seriously, I brought it home Saturday afternoon after the shop closed at 3 pm. I had the…

It seems so sad that today is the final day of the Spell it with Fabric blog hop. By now you have 26 letters, 9 numbers and some fun punctuation patterns. You have received some ideas on different things the designers did with their letters. Edyta put her daughters name on the back of the quilt with some of the letters. http://laundrybasketquilts.com/blog/2014/02/19/l-is-for-love/ Bunny Hill appliqued on top of her pieced letter. http://bunnyhillblog.com/2014/02/17/moda-blog-hop/ Minick and…

This is the only kit I've ever bought to make a quilt from, but it was so cute I couldn't pass it up. I started it back in April. It didn't take me long to get the borders on all the squares. And I believe that was the last time I showed it on this blog. I didn't know who I was going to give it to, so I never got it finished. Now I know where it's going and here's the finished product. This is the American Jane ABC quilt kit. I used flannel for the backing. I always use flannel on the back…

Pictures - 1 charm pack + 1 panel = 2 baby quilts - I got a charm pack of Moda's Love U line along with a Love U panel and made two baby quilt tops. I used flannel dots to back the baby bottle quilt and Love U yardage to back the ABC quilt. Fun and quick to make.

A couple of weeks ago, Moda hosted a blog hop called "Spell it with Fabric". I pinned every single alphabet and number and punctuation mark, and you can find it on my Pinterest board here. It was so much fun to choose the fabrics!!! I chose red for "A" because it reminds me of apple. "B" is for blue. "C" is for my cute little grand daughter Charlotte, and me, Cynthia. This fabric is Mary Engelbreit, which makes me think of cherries. I just like the blue and gold together ;) I love this olive…

My hubby told me Friday he needed a baby quilt for one of his friends. I have been asking for months if they were having a boy or girl and he has not bothered to find out...They are expecting a baby girl, but there have been some complications, so they have had to go over to Denver for the baby's delivery and a surgery after she is delivered. Fingers crossed that all will go well! If I had known it was a girl months ago like I asked, I would be doing the girl embroideries for the Shush I'm…

I recently had the MOST FUN making a mini quilt with words on it, so I just had to share it, along with a list of great pattern and book options for sewing your own alphabet letter quilt blocks.

Custom Alphabet Handmade Quilt There is no doubt I like alphabet quilts for baby gifts. Not only can they be used in a crib but they can be wonderful wall hangings, easily changing a room into a nursery. The alphabet is also one of the first things kids learn and here it is, easy to refer to and a

Jemima Flindt of Tied with a Ribbon is popping in today to share her ABC Birthday QAL project! From Jemima: It is my turn today to celebrate Moda's - ABC Birthday Quilt-Along. What a great fun way to completely personalise and make a quilt just for the person you are making it for. Whether you are making your favourite phrases, words, names or the alphabet itself this is a great pattern with lots of possibilities to create.

I am so happy to say that the infamous Alphabet Quilt is complete! This quilt is a little near to my heart because it started out as one of my first quilts. I got about halfway through, with all of my individual strips done. But as I started to sew the strips together, for the life of me, I could not get the last block on each row to line up. So with my "nesting" on hyper-drive to finish all my old WIPs, I pulled it out from the back of the closet and was determined to get it done finally. I…
