Handmade Baby Quilt - Finished ! ")

Finally put the last stitch in the binding earlier today. The pics are always the hard part for me.. I'm much better at quilting than taking the photos.. but.. here is a sneak peak before it goes up on Etsy. It truly must be "held in the hand" and "Put up against the cheek" to get the full effect. It's so totally soft! Perfect to wrap your little one in. It's destined to be the "go to" blankie of some very special infant or toddler... I can't wait to know that some sweet baby is being wrapped in it's softness! :) Be sure to click the images to get the real up close and personal on the fabrics..

Handmade Baby Quilt - Quilting in Progress

The latest project is a baby quilt. Soft flannels and cottons. Just a scrappy random arrangement for an old fashioned / retro feel. These are pics of just the top and some of the fabric close ups. The plan is for a very soft flannel used on the binding. The idea is for soft soft soft against a baby or toddlers sensitive skin. Each square is about 2-1/2" finished. This will be updated in a few days when I have finished.
