My Own Crib Quilt...



My Own Crib Quilt 
is done.
I think every Grandma should have a quilt 
for when her grandbabies come to visit.

 It measures:  54" x 47"
I stitched-in-the-ditch around each square
and then quilted diagonal lines across each block.

The backing is Fresh Air by American Jane Patterns
Sandy Klop for Moda  
It's a teeny tiny check that's so soft.

Now I'm all about cutting wool squares.
Nothing easy about cutting up suit coats.  Blah.
BUT
I'm going to make a pair of wool baby pants out of a sweater.
Like these.
It'll be a fun experiment.
"Lily" likes to play outside with her sisters, 
but she's not walking quite yet and it's still snowy.
Her pants ride up and her poor chubby ankles get cold.
The wool pants with cuffs at the ankle would keep her warm and dry, I think.

The sun is shining and it's up above the freezing mark.
I took a walk to the mail box this afternoon.
Nice. 

I got myself a new book.  A quilting book.
by Siobhan Rogers
I bought it mainly for this quilt, 

 
but there are lots of other quilts I like too.
Fun ideas.
I'm excited about it.

Have a happy day!

  4. A gorgeous quilt. I'm full of admiration once more at your quilting skill and creativity. Looking forward to seeing the baby pants when they're made. Enjoy your reading, planning of your next quilt and, of course, your little ones.

  5. That is a lovely quilt Jody. What a nice job you did. I think that is so true. We all need something to wrap our babies in.
    I like your new book too. I like the idea of making those little pants. You are keeping yourself busy.
