CHECK OUT THE NEWEST BABY CLOTHES QUILT

This latest quilt is being shipped to my customer today, but I couldn't wait to share it with everyone. I did a couple of different things with this quilt that worked out really great. First, I used different fabrics for framing the blocks and for the backing. The blocks are framed with a creamy white fabric with multicolor dots that picked up the different colors in the garments. The back is a similar print with a blue background and multicolor dots. I also did a different layout with the appliqued blocks at the center of the quilt. I think it turned out kinda cute, don't you?

I had some clothing squares left over after I finished the quilt so I made the customer a little pillow cover that will go on a travel size pillow. I just sewed the squares together and framed everything with the blue dot fabric. It has an envelope back for easy pillow insertion and it's fully washable, just like the quilt.

I had a lot of fun with this new layout and pillow cover. I can't wait to start on the next one.

BABY CLOTHES PILLOW COVERS

Here are the two travel pillow covers I made to match the last two baby clothes quilts. For the front I just made two four-patch blocks and framed them with the same fabrics I used in the quilts. For the blue/green one I used the green for the framing and then the blue for the back.

For the pink one I used the backing fabric for the framing and made the back from some of the flannel receiving blanket my client asked me to use in both quilts.

The great thing about these pillow covers is that they are removeable and washable! It was totally my client's idea and I think they will look so cute with the quilts.
