Baby Quilt


It's finally finished! My very first quilt! (small baby-sized quilt that is). I'm pretty happy with how it turned out :) it has its imperfections here and there, but I'm okay with that. Gives it character, right?


and of course, my cat couldn't stay off of it...



I also really like the fact that many of the blocks have special meaning or memories:

1) a fabric that I've had since I was a child and had just started sewing (around 7 years old)
2) a piece of yellow flannel taken from MY baby quilt that my Mom made for me when I was a baby! many eons ago...
3 & 12) floral print fabric I got while on a trip to Mexico
4 & 6) quilt blocks made by my aunt for a different project that she didn't end up finishing so she gave them to me :)
5) a piece of flannel with little animals on it from MY baby blanket
7) a couple fabric scraps that my sister gave me that belonged to her boyfriend's grandma
8) a few different fabrics I got while thrift shopping with my sister
9 &11) pieces of a bunting that my Mom made for my wedding
10) a piece of fabric from a dress that I bought while garage sale-ing with my sister


and this piece was also taken from the baby quilt that my Mom made for me when I was a baby. I then added the embroidered "Love Mommy". <3
