I made this little quilt for my first grandbaby. Grandchild #2 is on the way. I want to make something similar, but not a repeat of this quilt. I would like to do something with applique again, but don't know what. Any suggestions?
|
do you know the sex of baby #2? If a boy, maybe cars/trucks/bus/airplane etc? And if a girl, maybe flowers/kitties/puppies etc? Or maybe that pattern that uses the babies with the funny facial features? (not sure of pattern designer but think it's Amy Brackman??)
|
Cute quilt and cute baby. For #2 you could alternate 4-patch or 9-patch with basic blocks that you can use for your applique.
|
We do not know the sex of the baby. I had a similar thought.....think I can get both a boy and girl quilt done by January?? ;)
|
Do the next one with toys appliqued on it. I made a quilt for my grandson...I put a train, ball, wagon, a top and several other toy, a bat and ball, etc
|
That's a great idea! I was thinking about doing the colors too.....each square appliqued with things of a certain color, along with the name of the color appliqued as well. But I really like the toy idea, too! Thanks!

What a darling, beautiful baby!! Oh, my goodness! Nothing on earth compares to the beauty of a baby. I can't wait till grandchildren come along.
Oh, were you asking about quilt ideas? Haha. I got a little sidetracked. The toy idea is a good one. You could use a mix of blues and greens which would be suitable for boy or girl. |
Hand drawn (country style) hearts and stars? I also like the suggestion of alternating with 4- or 9-patch squares.
|
Do you mean using 4 or 9-patch squares in place of the yellow squares or the appliqued squares? What would you put in the other squares then? The yellow is minky, which I planned to use again.....(after I swore I'd never work with it again!).
