I have to say that out of all of the baby quilts I've made so far, this is one of my favorites.
I now have started on my 6th commissioned baby quilt. It needs to be completed by August. The baby is going to be a boy so I chose the colors green, blue, and cream. I'm going to use the same pattern that I used for my 2nd commissioned quilt (square inside of a square). I thought it would be cute if I quilted one letter of the alphabet in the center of each square.
Today my grandma took my shopping for the fabric. Here is what they look like.
I washed them when we got back from shopping. I decided to hand wash them in my bathroom sink because when I wash smaller pieces of fabric in the washing machine, the edges tend to fray a lot. Hand washing is much gentler and it does just as good of a job.
It was such a nice day that I decided to hang the fabrics outside on the line to dry.
I'm hoping this quilt will turn out as good as the rest of them did.
Have a great day!!! ☺
