I finally made myself start the 2 baby quilts I need to make for my daughter's new baby that is due this winter. She is not finding out if it is a boy or a girl so I am making 2 quilts.
So of course the fist cuts were wrong! Ok it's been a while......
These fabrics are flannel and very soft, I really like them. I made up my own pattern and so far so good.
I have some leftovers but most likely not enough for another quilt. I also feel like baby quilts should be one of a kind, just like babies!
So I have a question.....batting or no batting? Flannel backing and binding or regular cotton? This will be machine quilted as I have a blue one to make next!
Today is unseasonably warm and the trees are so pretty! This is my sassafrass tree. I wish you could see it in person, the camera does not do it justice.
My favorite thing is when the sun shines through the leaves and they glow, total beauty at it's best.

What ever you have or want for batting.... but a cotton back. There will be some days when flannel is to hot against the skin and then cotton nice.....
ReplyDeleteI like you one of a kind quilt thought for one of a kind babies!
TWO quilts for the baby? What will you do with the one that's the wrong color?? VBG
ReplyDeleteLOVE just LOVE the fall colors! thanks for sharing!
Sweet fabrics for a new baby. What did you get for the second quilt?
ReplyDeleteThese little quilts are adorable ! the colors are very sweet....
ReplyDeleteThank you for the beautiful pics !
that's so sweet. I always lean toward thin poly batt for baby quilts, lightweight and fluffy, wash and dry. Harder to quilt but if you pin a lot it should be okay. LeeAnna
ReplyDeleteLove those colors! Flannel for the back and thin poly batting would make a cozy, warm baby quilt for the winter.
ReplyDeletewhat a gorgeous tree!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to NOT KNOW. You are the best Grandma ever to make both color.
How exciting to be making two quilts! It's the rare case that a mom and dad decide they DON'T want to know the baby's gender. I'd be using Quilter's Dream Request Loft Cotton for batting in a flannel quilt. I think that "no batting" would be really difficult to quilt with all the seams you'd have to bump over. Whatever you do, enjoy the process!
ReplyDeleteMinky backing, and cotton batting! I didn't find out with all four of my kids, surprises are the best! Congratulations and please 😘👶🏼 For me!
