BABY OH BABY

This is the 3rd baby for my Smith friends and
the 4th baby quilt they have commissioned me to make.

I must be doing something right!

Baby #3 will be a boy due for delivery this October.

A big brother and sister can't wait to meet him.

Daddy wanted a fox theme and I shared 

these fabrics and colors...approved! 

Perfect Ten pattern by Swirly Girls Designs

is my "go to" novelty print pattern.

Why invent a new wheel when this one

rolls just fine!

A design wall is helpful to layout this pattern

that requires attention to sew the rows together. 

I love seeing how the colors will play together.

All this fabric was in my stash.

Sewing is easy, but again....pay attention to the layout!

I had some dark gray Kona in my for the binding.

This just might be my favorite part of the quilting process.

You can see in this picture I did a straight line quilting.

I like to set my Bernina 740 machine stitch length at 4.0 

and use the dual feed foot.  

Its almost always Quilters Dream batting for my quilts.

It finishes at 46" x 58"...nice size for baby to toddler!

Waiting on Daddy to give me some verbiage for the label.

The backing is a light gray on white print, 
a wide back remnant, that was also in my stash.

I added some scraps of the quilt fabrics to make it pop.  

Sew you know...this is the second quilt I have made using

"Outfoxed" fabric by Lizzy House.

Here is the first one I made several years ago!

A Villa Rosa Designs pattern, Moondance

and you can find their card patterns here.  

They are only $2 and I have many of them. 

For this cute little boy, Miah...

and Mama sent me a picture of him on the quilt.

Miah, now has a little sister AND he

started kindergarten this year!

Making baby quilts is the most fun because

*fabrics are such fun

*babies make my heart happy

*the quilt will become a family heirloom

 I have been sewing my stash this year.

This  quilt makes #7 lap size or larger quilt 

I have made since January!
