Baby and Toddler Quilts

Children’s quilts are great ways to practise and learn.  I enjoyed making all these quilts, they are all my own designs –  with inspiration from others.

Courthouse Steps 1

Boho Improv 1

Wonky Log Cabin

Three baby quilts, all about 1m x 1m (40″ x 40″), made from left-overs of a queen top (UFO !#%$)

 

Raindrops on Puddles 40″ x 48″ 2013

A modern quilt, inspired by A Quilt for Harry on Crafty Blossom blog.  An early effort of concentric circle quilting.  I was pleased with the effect though I found it very time consuming.  Spirals are a lot easier.

 

Frogs and More 50″ x 50″

 

Between Sea and Sky 40″ x 50″

A modern toddler quilt inspired by a quilt by Debbie Schulze at Juniper Quilts and Thinking Outside the Block by Sandi Cummings

Michael’s quilt 40″ x 40″ September 2014

 

Stephanie’s Quilt 36″ x 48″ – June 2008

After making a baby quilt in pink and white for my great niece, I was inspired to create an original design with the left over pieces, and many more scraps.  I love the hand of Liberty Tana Lawn, though I am disappointed in how the seams show through.  It is the fineness of the lawn that feels so lovely, and it is this characteristic that reveals the seams. Oh well.
