Quilts, Quilts, and More Quilts

Well, I have been busy sewing lately. Baby quilts and more baby quilts. As I posted last week, I finally finished Marie's baby quilt. She plays on it almost every day and I love it.

This is the quilt I just finished for my first soon-to-be-born niece. I'm going to be an aunt!! I'm pretty excited and can't wait to meet this little girly.

For this quilt I used prints from the Park Slope line by Erin McMorris. As usual, Etsy came to the rescue and I was able to buy a bundle of these prints already precut into fat quarters and yardage for the borders and backing. I love Etsy!

I sort of made up the pattern as I went and it ended up being kind of fun and different. I quilted around the inner edge of each rectangular shape and did a free-motion stipple quilting design on the borders.

Of course, a set of burp clothes to match!

I also finished a couple of quilts that are available in my Etsy shop. Both of these came out so soft, thick, and plushy. They are almost like comforters! You can check them out here.


Thanks for looking, and have a blessed day!

  1. Beautiful quilts, Jessica! Especially the first one - I'm trying to work up the nerve to try quilting, but I'm not quite there yet - this is great inspiration! :)

  5. Jessica, your quilts are always an inspiration to me. Today I will be working on an Americana Watermelon quilted wallhanging. I love to make baby quilts.

  7. Beautiful quilts! My very favorite are the last two. I love the texture of what looks like chenille and old bedspreading type material. Not sure what they call it, but I love it!

  9. How do you make the burp clothes? They are cute! I always used cloth diapers, but they weren't cute like the ones you make!
