Here are 2 of the quilts I have been recently commissioned to make. I have blurred out the babies' names for privacy purposes...
I created an alligator applique by hand and used a Florida Gator fabric border for this baby boy quilt since the gift was for Gator Alumni that were having a baby boy... GO GATORS!!
For the other baby boy quilt I combined aqua, browns, and creams for the quilt top and a wave-like aqua fabric for the backing. I created a teddy bear applique from scratch and included it in the center with the boy's name on the top/bottom of the quilt top.
I love your quilts, but I'd really like to see how you did the letters. Could you just blur the last name? Thanks, April Bailey
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteI put the letters on using a fusible applique method that is super simple! I trace out backwards block letters onto the paper-backed side of the fusible webbing. Then I cut the letters out and fuse them to the "wrong" side of the fabric I'm using. Then, I cut the letters out and peel off the paper-backing and then iron it down wherever I want the letter to be on the quilt. After all the letters are down, I go back with a small zig-zag stitch and stitch around every letter to hold them in place through the washing & wearing.
Hope this helps! Feel free to contact me if you need help with a similar project.
p.s.- I will upload the picture you requested with just the last name blurred out in a few minutes.
Thanks!
