The fastest Baby Quilt ever!



Unlike Liz I am a total procrastinator. There is definitely a part of me that wishes I was a little more on top of things, and then there is a part of me that is always surprised with how much I can get done when I push things to the dead line. This baby Quilt is no exception I finished a half hour before a baby shower (That is why the photo is so dark.) I found this pattern about a year ago and fell in love with it, but you really don't even need a pattern it is so simple. the best part is that you sew the squares on when you are quilting the top so you cover two steps in one. I think this pattern was written for people like me!

Post Edit: The quilt is called: Vintage Baby Quilt by Yoyo Mama Designs

ok - that's so freakin' cute. what's the pattern? i need to make one like this for carson. i have that heather ross fabric that is in yours. i can't find it though. . . that might be a problem.

LOVE THE QUILT! you are SO talented.

so the squares on top - are the edges raw and will fray when washed? great job!!

Liz- I will bring the pattern when I come to visit and we can make it together! The squares do fray that is part of the fun of this quilt it add so much texture. I am think of making sham pillow cases for G's bed out of the same technique.

I love that! What a great idea, can I get the pattern somewhere? And you can just do that on a regular sewing machine?

P.S. don't use a diapering marker, but a disappearing maker would work just fine. Sorry I am not the greatest speller in the world and I don't even want to imagine what a diapering marker would be.

Your quilt is darling. Love the fabrics (that goldfish is so cute). I bet they loved it. It's a great pattern, we've made a bunch of them. You can get the pattern at www.quilttaffy.com.

the quilt is beautiful and your fabric choice is lovely! i'm going to attempt my own, but had a question and wondered if you'd mind answering: did you sew the squares on, and then immediately bind the quilt, or was there some washing going on in between? thanks! (erinmalia [at] gmail)
