2 Easy Baby Quilts

Pieced from 2 Wee Play charm packs + yardage that I've had for a while. Both patterns make a rather quick and cozy baby gift.

The first is for a friend and her new baby boy. She loves Wee Play and made a family quilt out of the fabrics. Her mom is also a quilter, so I wanted to make something that could be used outside and generally loved to death (i.e. not an heirloom).

The second is a design by Jodi of Simply This That and The Other for the Moda Bake Shop. If you haven't checked it out, the Moda Bake Shop blog has tons of ideas for Moda pre-cuts. This one has been on my list to make since I saw it, mostly to try my hand at prairie points.

Thanks for all the nice comments about my last quilts. I appreciate each one!

Ahhhh! The quilts are fantastic! But I especially like the pinwheel one. ;o) (wink, wink) Seriously? It turned out way cute! If you haven't you need to totally put that in the Moda Bake Shop Flickr group.

These are beautiful. But I think my favorite is the pinwheel. I had seen this pattern some time ago and loved it. But my all time favorite is the spiderweb quilt. It is absolutely lovely. Mom

You did an incredible job! I'm going to have to Google Wee Play. I haven't heard of it before. So cute!

Becky said...

Saw that lovely pinwheel quilt and knew I had to make it - my cousin is having twin girls and this seemed the perfect project.

Prairie points are making me lose my mind with boredom.

Yours is absolutely beautiful though so I shall keep going! It'll be worth it!

Ooops! Wrong comment left on your blog.

(Feeling a bit silly right now!)

I meant to say that I love the quilt on the top. I am just finishing one up and am already searching for new ideas for my next one. I love the simplicity of design and the way it shows off the fabrics.

These baby quilts are fabulous. I have a close friend expecting a baby and was caught in the grip of quilt design indecision. You have just helped unblock me - thanks!
