i love making baby quilts. there is something about the hope that comes with a new baby that I feel even in making the quilt. as i'm working in it i can't help but wonder- will they be shy and quiet or a baby that never sits down, will they look like one of their parents, or a mix of both.

my cousin and his wife had a second baby girl at the end of last year. this one was for her. for a little one chevron is great. i used half square triangles to make this one.

the second baby quilt was one for a friend- for her niece. her room is purple and green so she wanted to stay with those colors. the pattern is a square in a square. i used what some call the stack and whack method. my friend wanted the babies name embroidered on the back. i hadn't done any embroidery in a bit. it was a lot of fun to refresh those skills. these days with the internet there are so many fonts available to you it's hard to choose.
