Navy, Gray, and Red Baby Quilt


Last night I tried to get some pictures of this quilt with two little girls in the room. Emma figured this quilt must be for her since I put it on the floor.  She proceeded to crawl all over it, throwing herself back and forth on her tummy claiming it as hers!  I wish I could show you the scene, but I couldn't find a picture that wasn't blurry except this one:


Anyway, the block finishes at 6 inches and is made up of 1 rectangle (3 x 6.5) and 2 squares (3 x 3).  The white strips are cut 1.5 x 6.5 and 1.5 x 3.  Then just add the 1.5 in strip between the blocks and she's done.


I quilted it with a panto called loops and stars.  I used the 7 inch, but I think the quilting is a little dense and should have used the 10 inch. It might also be a little denser because of the red fleece I put on the back of it.


Another photo session this morning on the couch.  Yep, Emma was here too!  Gotta love her.



But I finally did manage to get a good picture.

  1. Ha! It's always exciting when a little one gloms onto your quilt like that. Granted - I see why she did! I love the colors and the composition of this quilt, and am sure the recipient will love to snuggle under it.

  2. Another great quilt Shannon. Thanks for the measurements. I like the way the 3 inch blocks form a 4 patch - great colors too. Emma is so adorable. Your fabric looks so nice and neat stacked under your long arm.
