Animal Baby Quilt


 I recently completed a quilt I’d started designing back in 2018. 


I have now u now finished it. Whew. 




Finished Product


Original Design



Computer Design Re-worked


Using CAD to design patterns

Adding seam allowance


Beginning the cutting process

Pattern look, Pattern pieces, and beginning sewing


Right at this point I got Covid and had to stop for about 3 weeks

I finally figured out how I wanted to do the heart.


Embroidered the name.

Adding tiny pieced sashing for around blocks

Always fun to do a little improv piecing for the back
(especially since I ran out of the backing fabric.)


Our newly adopted Dusty is helping

Quilting the sandwich


Printed out some tags!!

And Voila.

The ears and tail on some of the animals 
are free to flop around, play with,
chew on or whatever. (here they have been pinned up)




A little wash and dry and it's puckered up nicely
and washed away any extra sizing or starch.
Perfect for babies skin. 





I hope to upload the pattern to my Etsy account. But first I should probably give it to the intended recipient first.


Thanks, Ruth
