Quick and Simple Baby Quilt

 

 

I've finished something, hooray! This is a very easy quilt to make. (Thank goodness!)  There hasn't been much finishing of anything around here for quite sometime.  Maybe I'm turning a new leaf?  This pattern is called Warm Wishes and it is a free quilt pattern found here http://www.quiltmaker.com/patterns/details.html?idx=5215   It took me 3 Saturdays at the library to make it, one for cutting it out (45 min?), one for sewing (6 hours) and one for layering and quilting (6hours).  I spent another 4 hours putting the binding on, I did that at home while watching TV.  Times are just estimates but pretty close I think.

I quilted this on my Juki using the walking foot.  I have this wavy ruler for my mid-arm that I used to mark the lines for quilting.  I like how it is simple grid quilting but gives a little movement to the squareness of the blocks. I made this quilt for a co-worker who is home on maternity leave.  I didn't get it done in time for her shower but it's ready now for when she returns to work, should be pretty soon now!
