New Baby Quilts!

I've been busy making baby quilts but was just reminded that I haven't posted about any of them.  You might have seen them in my flickr stream, but here they are!


This first one is a modern crosses baby quilt from Modern Log Cabin Quilting.  I really love this book!  I altered the blocks so they are slightly larger than the pattern.  I sewed the rows and tacked down the center of the crosses, but I don't think I like how the finished quilt looks.  I think I like more all over quilting.  I definitely will make this quilt again, but will definitely stick to the pattern recommended size and maybe quilt the blanket some more.  The fabric is some kona cotton gray that I messed up in cutting, some pink that didn't make the cut for my Civil War Diaries quilt, and a little bit of Munki Munki (on the back) that I bought when I first started quilting.
 
The next baby quilt is a spiderweb quilt!  I love these, but this is the first one I've completed.  I finished it in one week!  I used this pattern, and it was great.  I pressed the seams open since there are so many seams.  LOVE this quilt, and the baby's parents love it too.  Yay. The fabric is the robots fabric by David Walker for Free Spirit.




Next is a quilt I made for my coworker.  She didn't know if her baby was a boy or girl, so hopefully this quilt is gender neutral enough!  I  based it on this pixel quilt from Spool Sewing.  I plan on making the Spool Sewing quilt as a wedding gift for another friend, so this quilt was a nice test run.  Fabric is Odyssea by Momo for Moda.

Next came a quilt for a family friend who was expecting a boy.  This one is a disappearing nine patch quilt, but I took the layout of the squares from another Spool Sewing quilt.  They called it the magic quilt.  I don't deny that this quilt was quick, but I think I like more structured and symmetrical patterns.  For this one I used one of the Pink Chalk Fabrics solids bundle plus the gray.

This quilt was for a boy for my mom's childhood neighbor's daughter (who had a son).  This is made of half square triangles and I based the layout on Rita's half square triangle quilt.  It's made from Holly Holderman's Oh Boy! fabric line for Lakehouse Dry Goods.  I didn't mind making this quilt, but all that trimming! 


Next is a zig zag quilt.  I used Anna Maria Horner's pattern, and I'm not sure if I liked making it this way.  I do like that the zig zags are not as broken up as if I had made it with half square triangles or rectangles.  In the end the mom of the baby and the grandma loved this quilt, so I guess it was worth it!  The fabrics are Anna Maria Horner (blue flowery on front) Heather Bailey (orange) Urban Loft 1800 (blue flowery backing) Essex cotton (white) and some Kaffe Fassett shot cottons (pink and yellow).

There is one more quilt that I made for my niece (yay for niece, but whoops no photos!) and a quilt top I just finished, but those will be blogged about soon.  Maybe.
