baby quilt


a printed quilt panel is meant to be ideal for making a 'quick' baby quilt for a new arrival. This quilt (almost finished) is for baby Tyler who arrived on 3 February. Little Tyler is my dear hubby's first grandchild. I used a simple 'stitch in the ditch' method where I just used my general machine foot. Next time I make one of these I'll use a 'walking' foot. Have to buy one first. I've also knitted him 2 beanies.

My main struggle was making sure that all the layers remained even and smooth (with no bumps). I'll admit that I did have several 'wrestling' and 'unpicking' moments with this quilt. In hindsight, it's probably not as 'quick' as I would have liked it to be... so please don't look too closely! (LOL!)
