Yay! I did it. I finished my baby’s quilt, only 15 months late. Remember this quilting post? I’ve made a quilt for all three of my babies when they’re born, something for them to always have that’s made from me! I love it and so does my baby!
This quilt has a sort of ‘nine patch’ pattern to it that I learned from a quilting class a few years back. I highly suggest you take a quilting class if you’re just beginning. One day I hope to be a Crazy Mom Quilter, making one of these everyday.
Don’t you just love these butterflies quilted in the fabric? If you’re in the Salt Lake City area, I’ve got a fabulous machine quilter for you. Ella does a great job and has great prices!

That is so cute! I hope to someday learn to sew and quilt, then I will be buried in fabric as well as paper. Great colors by the way!
Love it! I hear that having someone do the machine quilting is the way to go. I love the butterflies and colors. Looks like it will be cherished for a long time.
I just found you, and I love your blog!! I will return often for inspiration!! What a beautiful quilt.
What an adorable quilt! The colors are so pretty! My grandmother made me a quilt when I was born and I still have it hanging on my quilt rack to this day, even if it is a little tattered and torn. (Hey, it adds to the charm!) I was thinking about making one for my daughter – even if she is 9 years old now. Perhaps I’ll secretly make her one to give as a wedding gift some day!
Cute, cute, cute! Lucky baby! :)
I love your baby’s quilt! Way to go!
GIRL – that is flipping adorable! You make me want to take a quilting class! SOOoooo cute!!! :)
So pretty! great job! I have not made a single quilt, but my little sister made a tie quilt for my little girl and it’s a cherished item.
it looks fabulous! great job! i’m sure it will be cherished forever!
Just BEAUTIFUL!
Darling, Marie! It turned out great!
ps. I posted about the ebook today, woot-woot!
It’s awesome. And I agree, it would be amazing to be as crazy as Crazy mom quilter! :)
My 3rd baby is nearly 14 months and his quilt is also unfinished. Maybe reading this will be the inspiration I need to get over the last little hump to finish it up. Yours turned out lovely!
I have never quilted before, but the camp I work at has an annual quilt auction and this year there were 398 quilts auctioned off. And they were GLORIOUS! So I have signed myself up for a beginners quilting retreat to learn a nine patch and I can’t wait! Thank you for this encouraging and exciting update!
Do you think there is any chance in the world that if I move into your ward, you will be assigned as my VT? Because that would be awesome!
So adorable! What pretty colors too.
I love it! I just started on a found quilt with all the kids’ clothes that are special but too worn to save or pass on, so I’m taking piece to make a big quilt. You definitely have inspired me! I’d love to do a machine quilter pattern to make the look cohesive!
I’ll be checking around the Sacramento area tomorrow…
A beautiful labor of love! Congrats =)
Your baby’s quilt is so darling! Love the colors and pattern! Way to go!
This is so fun! I love all the colors, but especially the green fabric with white dots. Congrats on finishing it!!
