More Baby Quilts

I need to stop & write more frequently. I begin and end a project and need to document it but, I don’t take the time.

Just last week I began another baby quilt for my best friend’s first grandchild. And I’m thinking about what to make for a niece that’s expecting later this year. So, I need to document my latest finishes.

My granddaughter Brinlee’s baby quilt.

I documented in December the piecing of tops and quilt backs for three Dresden Plate baby quilts at a quilt retreat. Two of the three are complete including a quilt label documenting the baby’s birth. I only need to bind & label the third quilt by the great-niece’s first birthday in April.

Meanwhile, I am in haste to finish a baby quilt by March and have set daily goals to accomplish the project. So far I have stitched, cut, pressed, and trimmed 165 HST.

This weekend I pieced the 4-patch blocks. Most of the blocks are pressed and ready to be stitched into larger blocks.

My mind is set on finishing this quilt in time for the upcoming baby shower. With this mindset, I’m sure to accomplish my goal.

Enjoy!
