Pink Crib Quilt

Yet another crib quilt! This one had a nerve wracking journey overseas to a darling one year old girl, but it eventually made it for her birthday safe and sound. Like the Robot Quilt, I used a soft fleece for the backing, but still managed to have a top stitch done on a long arm machine. Awesome fabrics are again from Fabricworm.

Full quilt after the jump.

Throw Cushions

When the quilt is done, why not make matching throw cushions? In reality, I just had a lot of leftover fabric. Fat quarters go a surprisingly long way!

I started with small filler cushions from IKEA. They're perfect for a small budget, though very lightweight. I picked up this tutorial on how to make a ruffle for the center of the larger cushion. It's quite easy - the trick is the make sure you have enough length to actually ruffle! For a nice finished edge on the ruffle it's helpful to do a roll hem, but I don't have the proper foot for my machine. I instead improvised by making the tiniest hem possible! It still turned out, so I have no complaints.
