Babies — gotta love ‘em!
Adorable!
My friend Karen made the cutest baby quilt last week! What is it about babies that brings out the very best in all quilters? Her quilts are always beautifully pieced, but this one was extra-perfect! We had fun talking about the little angel that will be receiving this quilt as a gift, and how much love will be surrounding her when she is born.
Karen chose to add an extra white border on both ends, just to feature quilted hearts for this precious baby! Great idea! Here’s a close-up of her white border:
The corner created an interesting challenge, as we tied everything together to keep it visually consistent. Don’t forget — you can click on all of the pictures here to see larger versions.
Karen is planning an embroidered label for the back of this quilt — and I think that’s the perfect touch! What a wonderfully lucky little baby!

OMIHOSH! That baby quilt of Karen’s is just gorgoeous! I am SUCH a sucker for roses and that fabric is to die for! You know, I am embarassed to say this, but I would not have thought to NOT add the white border to the bottom and top of the quilt as well….and this way, it makes it so much more unique! The hearts quilted on top are just perfect for a baby quilt. Again, I would not have thought of it, thinking I had to use roses or a baby motif…it just makes me realize, when I get away from the art quilts and go to the traditional, I really am stuck in a box! Thanks for making me think outside that box! And, if you have leftover fabric and you CANNOT imagine what to do with it, I’ll take it!!!! lol Where did you find it? I may have t get a few yards….it matches my bedroom decor perfectly!
