Well, here is the first block cut (for a friend's baby quilt). Haven't sewn it yet. I love this Ellie Burns pattern! But boy oh boy, you have to handle everything with kit gloves because it stretches if you look at it wrong! Gee, I can't wait to see how this looks when I'm done! Will post a finished photo.
I have got to think of a quilt pattern to go with this too!

Looks just about perfect....!

You're doing great! I might suggest using either lots of starch, spray sizing or the new product Best Press. It will help to stabilize your fabrics while sewing.

try spraying your pieces with Mary Ellen Best Press starch.it work wonders for those bias cuts.

I LOVE your fabric selection! I made a quilt from this pattern. It is amazing how it comes out. How will you quilt it?

Zephyr 03-24-2011 05:20 AM

That will be a great baby quilt. They say that black and white are the first colors that attract a baby's eyes.
