This is the quilt I made for Baby #3, but I have to make a disclaimer, I cheated. I can really only claim to have made a blanket as I did none of the quilting. It all started when I cleaned out our hall closet a few weeks ago and came across some unused quilted king shams. As I was contemplating what to do with them the idea came to me that if I unpicked them and sewed them together they would be the perfect size for a baby quilt. And that is exactly what I did.
I appliqued the baby life words onto the shams, added a cotton backing which I tacked down every so often so as not to interfere with the quilted circles on the shams and then reused the binding that I unpicked from the shams to finish it off. Now I have a playful, colorful baby quilt that coordinates beautifully with my new crib bedding and it didn't cost me a thing, all it took was some creativity and a bit of time. Everytime I walk into the boys room and see this cute quilte it makes me smile. Now I just need the little one to wrap up in it!
