I finally bought some batting. I had a 50% off coupon, and then a 20% off everything coupon appeared in my e-mail inbox, and I left right away to get the batting before anything else could happen! I also got some minkey/minkee dot backing while I was at it.
A few hard-working hours later, and we’ve got ourselves a baby boy quilt!
I machine-sewed the binding again. It is fabulous, except for the corners. I can’t quite get the corners right yet… I still like the look of hand-sewing better, but it takes a long time, and minkee is hard enough to poke those darn needles through.
I had all three girls helping me out with this photo session. I had all these fabrics set aside for when we had a boy :). Good thing it is staying in the family, this quilt is for their soon-to-arrive cousin! Total dimension is 48” square, and soft and cuddly to boot.
Your so good at quilts! Seriously, my goal is to make one or two this year. Do you have a machine that quilts, then?
ReplyDeleteTurned out great Mel! And isn't machine binding fabulous? SO much faster...
ReplyDeleteps what stripe did you use for the binding? It's cute!
ReplyDeleteI don't like to sew bindings on to minkee by hand either, so I just machine sew binding to back & turn binding to the front to hand stitch down :)
ReplyDeleteCute! I love disappearing nine patch quilts.
ReplyDeleteOooh, that looks so fun and colourful, and love the look of that backing
ReplyDeleteIt's so fun, I love all the bright fabrics and the backing looks great!
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I love this pattern for a quick, cute quilt. I want to try some minky for backing. I think this will be baby boy's favorite!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to not get too excited, but is this for my baby? I need to know before I die from the anxiety!
