13 Weekends Baby Quilt.

5.22.2014

I always seem to find myself scrambling at the last minute to make quilts for baby showers!  Please tell me I'm not the only person that does this?  This super simple layout is one of my go-to patterns for quick little gifts.  I've had this jelly roll of Weekends by Erin McMorris forever, and I had already joined it to some gray fabric for another project a long time ago.  I decided to cut them apart again to use them here, as the colors in the fabric seemed perfect for this little girl quilt!  Plus I got rid of an old untouched WIP in the process, which is always nice!
I added in a few solids and extra prints of varying widths to mix things up a bit.  I wanted it to be girly, but not too girly.
I like practicing my FMQ on these little quilts, so I quilted this one with big loops along each strip!  It was fun.


 It's bound with a sweet purple gingham that I really love.
I pieced together some random scraps and strips to make the back.  Such a great way to use up little cuts of fabric.
 This one was shipped off to a baby shower a few weeks ago.  I hope it will be well loved!

  10. Love it! And those loops are so cute. Going to have to try it out and yes, I do wait until the last possible second to do a baby quilt for showers. A few Friday's ago I went to the quilt store and bought fabric. They lady cutting asked what I was doing. I told her making a baby quilt for a shower tomorrow. She was doubtful I would finish, but I did and it turned out really cute.
