Lots of Bubble Quilting on a Baby Quilt!

This is a quick and easy to make baby quilt.

It measures  45" X 55"

My friend, Amy designed the "Quick Baby Quilt".  I made it so I could help her write it up for Craftsy.com

I enjoyed making it. It was fun and easy.

I loved quilting it too!  

I quilted Double/Triple Bubble Quilting in the main part of the quilt with a row of double bubble in the narrow border and three rows of a whimsical double loopy chains in the outside border.

I selected Hobbs 80/20 Batting as that seems to be the most durable for extra washing for baby quilts. 

I embroidery machine stitched the binding.

I will be making this Quick Baby Quilt again! I am glad Amy asked me the make it!  I love it!

I will be sending this one off to my niece as she will be having a baby in April. 

I would be happy to make this again for a special order.  I will be adding it to my list of choices for baby quilts for special orders.  I think the next one I make, I will use a rainbow of colors for the center squares.

I will post again, when Amy publishes her pattern on Craftsy.com.

Enjoy your day!

Getting Up Close With My Quilting --- Triple and Double Bubble Quilting

I used one color of quilting thread,(Trainer Green). I circled the bubbles at least twice and sometimes three and four times. I quilted large bubbles, medium bubbles, and small bubbles.

My customer said she started this quilt over 5 years ago.  She does not remember the name, but it was a quilt pattern from a Fons and Porter Magazine.  She added several borders to make it king size.

I take photos of customer's quilts on my guest bed.  It is queen size, but this quilt was 110" by 125". It was way too big for this bed!

I lifted up one corner.

I flipped it up so you can see the borders.

I folded it into fourths, so you can see the borders. Look how big it is on the queen size bed.

A few up close of the bubbles on the backside of the quilt.

And some more of the front.

I folded it up for shipping. My customer will be so happy when she receives it.

Enjoy!
