Baby quilts are great fun to make - luckily we seem to know lots of people having babies ...
 |
| Jenn's Ebb quilt (designed by Carolyn Friedlander) is for a friend's newborn. The background fabric is linen |
 |
| Mermaid Stars is the baby quilt that Jenn is sending off with the parents' wedding quilt (which is a little overdue). |
 |
| The star centres feature a mermaid print ... |
 |
| ... and the backing is Heather Ross's unicorn print. |
 |
| Jill has mended and hand quilted her son's baby quilt, made with nine Goose Tracks blocks, by a friend in 1985. It was originally tied, and is very faded from much washing and wear. It is being returned to her friend's daughter as a keepsake. |
 |
| The 1980s prints are visible at the edges where the original backing was rolled over and stitched. On the right is a small single block keepsake quilt that Jill has made to keep. |
 |
| The alligator baby quilt is Jill's daughter Emma's first attempt at applique (which she designed herself). Jill machine quilted it for her, using the serpentine stitch #4 on her Bernina to quilt the alligator skin (below). |
