For My Little Ladybug - Cuddle Quilt
 
I'm seriously IN LOVE with this Playtime Quilt Pattern from Karie Patch Designs. Best $9 purchase EVER!

I whipped up one in the "cuddle size" (22" x 22") for my adorable niece, Miss L.


I'm getting much better with matching my seams, but my mitered corners still need some work. I used the binding tool and OMG I LOVE THAT THING!!! I could never get my binds to look good, but this thing is amazing! I used my machine to sew on the binding and then hand-bound it on the back.

This quilt is really cool. It has three-dimensional ties on it that you can clip those stroller toys to so they don't lose them :-) Can't wait to give it to her this weekend!

Thanks for looking!

Rosie: Love the twisted bow ties, what a cute idea! Perfect for a little girl. So glad your getting satisfaction from improving skills. I've been quilting since the end of the 60's, and improving is still the greatest source of satisfaction. Always so glad to see a new generation falling in love with quilting.

I got it from Missouri Star Quilting Company (Binding Tool). They have a video tutorial showing how to use it too!

I just used that binding tool last night for the first time. OMG! it is fantastic. So easy to use once you understand how to use it.

Great Cuddle quilt!!!

Great quilt

grammysharon 05-19-2014 05:00 PM

The fabric is adorable, I can see why you love it!!!!!

Looks like a cute pattern, but I think what makes this ne adorable is the fabric you chose. So cute! And the ones you used for the ties make them look like rosebuds - brilliant!

Thank you all for the wonderful comments!! This is the third one of these and surely won't be the last!! It's now my "go-to" pattern for baby gifts :) If only I could find cute boy flannel like this. I need a boy one for a baby shower and can't find anything I like (spent an hour at JoAnns searching).

Jess - that is really gorgeous! I like the idea of the three-dimensional ties to clip the toys to. I'm sure she and her parents will love it!

Drw52372 05-20-2014 02:55 AM

Very cute and I really like the dimensional aspects! Job well done :-)

Super cute. Did you purchase her bow tie templet too or does her pattern have it's dimensions?

ghquilter53 05-21-2014 05:10 AM

The pattern has a template in it that I just made a copy of and cut out of paper. Everything you need is in the pattern :)

Thank you all for the sweet comments!! I'm still a newbie and still "learning the ropes." I'm quickly gaining confidence in doing bigger projects and hope to be able to share some soon :D
