Baby quilt
 

Originally, the idea was that I was going to hand quilt it, but I quickly discovered that I am not a hand-quilter! I bow down to those who can hand-quilt and have the enormous patience required!

So, I machine quilted it, using a stencil for every other strip and a serpentine stitch in between, with FMQ pebbles for the rest.

It was my first attempt at putting on a binding by machine and turned out a little rough...I think I may go back over it with a decorative stitch to tack down the areas that aren't flat.

Love it:):)

That is a nice easy pattern for baby quilts. Like your colour choices.

Ditto, Tartan's idea. .......Adorable quilt

Cute quilt! So bright and happy~

I agree with Tartan. Rick Rack looks great on any kid's quilt and can hide any mistakes.

Pretty q uilt... Your fmq pebbles are fabulous!

That's a lovely ray of sunshine. So happy

Very cute!!!

Love your colors. Rickrack would look great.

beautiful quilt, i want to make one of these too.

Darling! What is the pattern?

Watson, this is darling and I just love it! Machine binding is NOT FOR ME, and now you know why! LOL

Now I know why!
Tartan, the rickrack idea is fabulous! I think I'll do that.

Watson

delightful.

Really cute!

A lovely finish.

very cute like the colors!!!

A pretty colorful quilt. <3

Great quilt. I love the bright colors.

I like this pattern! Great job quilting.

How do you keep rick rack from folding over when it's laundered? My experience is that it kinda rolls up instead of staying flat.

Have you tried Machine Binding with a Flange? Its super easy and totally eliminates this problem. (Lots of tutorials online.) I also love the finished look. Its the only way I do binding! I'm attaching a scan of the corner of one of my chicken quilts. The striped fabric is the back view and in the front you can see the green binding with the rust-gold flange. Don't give up until you try it!

A very bright and happy quilt, great colors!

Nice bright colors for a child - good job.

Did you see Kitsie's baby quilt with the blanket stitches holding down the front of the binding? It looks doable. That said, I love you quilt, both the fabrics and the quilting. Lucky baby.

Very cheerful

Pretty little quilt... You did a great job with your FMQ. I have only tried one machine binding on a baby quilt... I think it takes practice. : (

So pretty and cheery

I'm not sure there is a "pattern". If I'm mistaken, someone please correct me.

I saw it on here, I think, (Darn brain injury messes with my memory), and just made it up to fit the size I wanted....36x45".

Watson

I thought about this, because I've done it before, but I thought I'd try just the straightforward binding that people talk about. Next time, I think I'll do the flange again.
I was thinking I might just bind it again...no rules against that, are there?

Watson

Looks great. Love the bright colors.

Very sweet and cheerful!

Happy baby quilt.

I agree with Tartan, some nice bright rickrack would be perfect & easily cover any imperfections. Love your quilt. Super cute.

That is such a cute quilt. Love your color choice.

So bright and cheerful. I like the idea of rick rack around the border.
