Very cute. Perfect for scraps and they are so useful too. Love the colors.

Awesome bibs and nifty way of getting rid the scraps that are too big to throw away and too small for regular pieces.

They are very cute and very colorful, babies love bright colors too. What did you use for your binding ?

I found the green stripe at Joann's (wished I'd bought all of it) and cut it into 1" or 1.25" bias strips. I'm not a good guesser so I use Crayola's washable markers to make a 1/4 " line to hand sew it into place.

Aside: (Crayola washable markers come out in hot water - I buy two or three boxes at a time ((8 per box)) and test them, afraid there might be changes from batch to batch or factory to factory. Give the ones that don't wash out ((in hot water in a sink or basin)) to a special needs school teacher.)

Joann's had an orange stripe and a yellow stripe just like it so I bought some of those and if I keep making this kind of bib (I'd like to try something more fem for baby girls) I might have to try a different kind of stripe.

For bibs I don't mind using whatever color fabric that fills the need. These won't last forever so I'm not as fussy as I am when I buy material for a quilt. Not that quilts last forever either!

How's that for a long answer to a short question! LOL


Sorry, usually not to chatty so it has to be the snow!

Very nice,,,,, I am always looking for Bib ideas, did you have a pattern, or did you design them? Quilter 1234

There are five colors in use but several prints. The centers are a cat print, other cat print, a zoo print, a dragon print.

I started photographing so I could see which I liked best but find I like them all.
