Baby Steps

When our boys were little I became interested in quilt making, specifically baby quilts. Baby quilts are always popular and a nice size project especially for beginners. I designed this quilt years ago, but it wasn’t until recently that I actually made it. And I must say, I am so happy with the end result.

For the top of the quilt I used Robert Kaufman’s Kona cotton Steel and Kona Rose. I started by piecing the middle, the short grey strip and the two pink squares. After that I alternated between the long and short strips until the top was finished.

For the backing I used Best friends forever by Stacy Iest Hsu for Moda, a pretty pink with tic tac toes all over. Once I’ve layered the quilt, I quilted it in an “X” design.

For the binding I used a gray and white polka dot fabric I found at Joann’s which gives it a playful look.

This has been such a fun project that I’m already thinking of making another one!
