Heirloom Baby Crib Quilt with Embroidered Crosses and Fish as the Quilt's Tie -- "A Child's Prayers"

 Heirloom Baby Crib Quilt with Embroidered Crosses and Fish as the Quilt's Tie

"A Child's Prayers"

I found this panel of fabric that I thought would be a great Children's book of prayers, but there were issues with the fabric, so I chose to cut it up and quilt the decorative parts and make a crib quilt instead. I had just enough coordinating fabric in my fabric stash to compliment the pictures. I was debating whether I would quilt or tie this quilt when I decided to add the fuchsia crosses in the small squares. I was wondering what else it needed and the Christian fishes came to mind and I decided they would be perfect. I hand quilted (tied) the quilt using embroidery floss.

I chose a natural cream cotton backing fabric to compliment the blocks on the front. I machine stitched the front of the binding on the quilt. I hand stitch the back binding on to hide the thread. The binding fabric matches the small squares on the front of the quilt.

The squares have children in vintage dress and would make a perfect Heirloom Baby Gift to hand down from one generation to the next. What could be more perfect than a child sitting with their parents or grandparents learning their prayers together.

The following 5 prayers are included on this quilt:

• Morning Prayer,
• Lord's Prayer,
• Grace and Blessings,
• Thank You
• and Guardian Angel. 

This is a beautiful tan, blue and pink quilt. It would be perfect for a boy or girl. The finished size is 29 x 38 1/2 inches. This would be a wonderful gift for a new baby, baby shower, or even a Baptism. I've posted it for sale on Etsy at: https://www.etsy.com/listing/165066136/heirloom-baby-crib-quilt-with   SOLD

New Baby Quilt

I just finished this quilt today and posted it on Etsy for sale.


It's a jelly roll baby quilt about 29" by 42".

 This quilt has a variety of beautiful patterned fabrics in pink, red, white, green, and teal. It has an abstract teal, green, and golden flannel back and is bound with a two tone teal fabric. It is tied with a dark teal DMC floss color.


 I machine stitched the front of the binding on the quilt. I hand stitched the back binding on to hide the thread. The final step was to tie the quilt with DMC Floss.

A Special Order (Baby Blankets)

I had posted my brown, blue and cream jelly roll baby quilt on Etsy to sell. A lady from Oklahoma emailed me asking if I could make another one similar to it as she had twin nephews due soon and the baby shower was coming up in August.  I found another Jelly Roll and made the front similar, but switched a couple colors around on it.

I found a nice animal print that matched the front colors perfectly and used this as the second quilts back (so they could tell which quilt belongs to which boy).

Quilt 1: The original quilts back.

Quilt 2: New animal print back.

I hand stitched a cream colored binding on both the quilts and tied them with the Ecru DMC floss.

This customer asked if I could custom make a tag for the quilts and sent me a picture of a heart, her name, and the year. I thought about it for a while and decided to use my Stampin' Up Twill tape that I've had for a while and embroidered the information on the till. I then stitched it to the back of both quilts.

I sent them in the post this morning.
