Custom Baby Quilts

Just finished a new custom baby quilt for a friend.  She is excited to give this baby quilt to a friend at the baby shower later this month.  I designed this quilt, pieced it and quilted it myself.


Two-color combo drunkard's path blocks in alternating positions. 
 Baby boy's name appliqued on.

Free-motion squiggly quilting in blue on blue areas and in brown in brown areas. 

Used a coordinating striped backing and I'm very happy with the way the quilting looks on it. Simple and fun, perfect for a baby. 

I also used the backing fabric for the binding....and I love that speckled look on the binding. 

I have people ask me all the time if I take custom orders.  I do!

  1. I have a few questions. Your quilt along showed how to make the squares, but how do you finish the quilt....add backing and batting and stuff? I could make the squares but don't know what to do after that.

  2. Brittney: There are tons of tutorials online that have great step-by-step instructions. I suggest you try to pull up some video tutorials so you get a better feel of how most quilts are put together. I've yet to make an actual full on quilting tutorial but I do have one that you can see to get an idea. This is my quilted drink coaster tutorial. You can watch it here: http://craftygemini.blogspot.com/2010/04/you-can-quilt-giveaway.html
    Hope this helps!
