Blogger’s Quilt Festival {Fall 2013} Baby Quilt

Uncategorized

28 Oct

Hi all! It’s once again time for Amy’s Blogger’s Quilt Festival.

AmysCreativeSide

This year, I’m entering my newly finished baby quilt for my own sweet youngest baby girl.

Dolly Dress Up Quilt Finished

The inspiration and impetus behind this quilt truly escapes me. But I’ve had the fabric for quite a while. My baby girl needed a bigger quilt so I indulged her. 🙂

The quilt is a combination of these embellished printed dolly dresses (the dresses are each printed on the fabric and I went and added pockets, aprons, and embroidered trim or ric rac) and

Sashings

patchwork blocks taken from this quilt top. (Yes, I ripped up a perfectly good quilt top!).

Red patchwork

Then, I hand quilted the quilt. I love hand quilting!

The quilt is just so soft and floppy. Perfect for baby love!

All quilted, ready for binding!


And be assured! My baby loves her quilt so much and it delights my heart to see her. Even though so much detail and time went into this quilt, I made this quilt to be loved and to be loved to bits. Quilts are made to love!

Someone found her quilt today and loves it. Guess I should finish it! Only the binding left!

For more details about my dolly’s Dolly Dress Up quilt visit this post. And if you are new to my blog, please stick around and visit my tutorials and finished project pages.

Thank you!

    It's perfect! I cannot BELIEVE how adorable this is!! I think the black handquilting is the absolute perfect touch; I never would have thought of using such a dark color. And who cares about cutting up a quilt top when you make it better like that 🙂

Comment ‘FREEZER’ for my free class to learn this Comment ‘FREEZER’ for my free class to learn this amazing paper piecing technique! 🌟

If your freezer paper is not sticking to your fabric, your iron might not be hot enough. 🔥

But be warned... 👇

You don’t want it to be TOO hot either. 

Use a HOT dry iron, and that should help your freezer paper stick to your fabric! 

The freezer paper needs enough heat to grip the fabric properly.

I also love using a wool pressing mat because it helps hold heat longer and makes the freezer paper stick even better.

When it comes to the quilting techniques, sometimes even a tiny adjustment can make a huge difference. 🙌

Freezer Paper Piecing Tip number ONE! ⬇️ We’re st Freezer Paper Piecing Tip number ONE! ⬇️

We’re starting off strong with one of my absolute favorite things about the freezer paper piecing technique. 

And it’s that you can reuse your foundations!! I’ve had a foundation that I used 20 or more times... 😅

I know it doesn’t seem possible, but this is proof that it is! 

Why make a new foundation for every single block when you just reuse ONE for them all? 

That’s the magic of freezer paper piecing. ✨

You know what I think a lot of quilters need more You know what I think a lot of quilters need more of? 👇

Small wins. 🧵✨

Not every project has to be a king-sized quilt that takes six months to finish. Sometimes the most joyful sewing happens when you sit down, make something fun in an afternoon, and actually get to enjoy the “ta-da!” moment quickly.

That’s exactly why I’m so excited to be co-hosting the Fast-N-Easy Quilters Paradise Summit this month.

We’ve gathered 30 incredible quilting teachers to share projects that are creative, approachable, and genuinely doable. Think: 

👉 Scrappy projects
👉 Gift-able makes
👉 Home décor
👉 Bags
👉 Coasters
👉 Mini quilts
👉 Freezer paper piecing

And so many techniques you can immediately use in your own sewing room. It’s free, it’s online, and it’s packed with inspiration.

It’s like a week-long quilting retreat without leaving your house. 😉

Comment ‘SUMMIT’ to get your free ticket! We kick off next week! 🎟️
