I made a baby quilt using foundation piecing techniques and scraps from my last baby quilt. This because I’m trying to use stash wherever possible. I pieced the back too and used my cloud ruler template to machine quilt it.
Take a look…
I did buy some fabric in February and I did donate half the value of it in charity – just so you know I’m keeping my promise. 🙂
I also bought some fabric on the first of March because I’m making a quilt for my daughter and didn’t have many of the flowery fabrics needed. I saw this beautiful pattern my Verna Mosquera called Mon Ami and it reminded me of the lovely weekend my daughter and I spent in Paris last year so I decided to make it for her.
Here are the fabrics I’m possibly using. Some from stash, some new and all have to be washed because it’s an appliqué quilt. 😦
Love the baby quilt, and Paris pattern! But you might be a year ahead of yourself…
Looks like you fixed that while I was typing or something. Sorry for my silly-looking comment!
No problems Vireya. I actually had fixed it as I typed but I was posting on my iPad and for some reason it published it so I had to go in and edit. it. Thanks anyway. 🙂
Love the baby quilt and the Paris quilt will be fabulous!
Thanks Annette
Lovely baby quilt, and I think the Paris quilt will be smashing! I don’t think I’ve ever read that you “machine quilted” something. I was quite surprised…lol Right now I’m crocheting some baby bootees. I have a new grandaughter who will be joining the family on March 10th. I probably will never meet her in person, but I’ll get to see pictures. Her name is Aylish Ann Trail.

Hi Linda
I hope you do get to meet your new granddaughter. I’m glad you like the baby quilt. It’s for a friend in the US.
Cheers

PS You’re right I don’t do much machine quilting. I don’t like it at all!
the baby quilt looks so soft and lovely… I am sure it will be a great cuddler 🙂 The fabrics for the Paris quilt are fabulous, I am looking forward to seeing that come together: I really enjoy looking at your work- your pattern and fabric choices never cease to surprise me and inspire…
Thanks Cheryl. It always nice to get feedback. I’ll keep you posted of progress on the Paris quilt.
Wondering how the Mon Ami quilt has evolved. Also, did you hand applique or machine applique?
Hi Kalyn
I have finished the the quilt. I changed some of the blocks with ones I designed myself. I hand appliqued it. I’ve been a bad blogger and haven’t posted for ages but if you are on Facebook you can see it in my posts there:http://www.facebook.com/SewjournalDailyBlog
thank you for the reply. I am considering the Mon Ami but do not do hand applique and I do not know if her pattern will work for fusible machine quilting.
I will check out your facebook page-love to see others’ finished products.
Hi Kalyn, Sorry I didn’t reply earlier I’ve been a very bad blogger for the last 12 months. I have finished it and hand quilted it and the applique was hand done too.
I don’t see why you can’t use machine applique. Good luck anyway.
