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.

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.

Second ever crib quilt, meant for my own little one this time!

Robot Crib Quilt

I have finally finished my first quilt! I love modern quilts and opted for a simple and less traditional pattern in order to better showcase the awesome Robot Factory fabric by Caleb Gray. These little bots are adorable, and perfect for the little guy this quilt is going to.

As this is a crib quilt, it measures roughly 3x4'in size. The top-stitch/quilted part follows the lines of each fabric block (options for this are limited without a long arm sewing machine), and the back piece is a very fine and super soft fleece.
