One Tiny Baby Quilt for One Tiny Baby Girl

This tiny baby quilt measures 20" by 26".  I made it for a very tiny baby.  I can't remember exactly, but I think Lainey Marie only weighed 4 pounds, when she was born in June. She arrived 2 months early.

I quilted all sorts of baby words all over the quilt.  I triple stitched the words to make them stand out. 

Each square only measures 2 inches in the finished quilt.  I started with 21/2 inch squares.  I cut pink and yellow and cream squares in a variety of baby fabrics including some flannels.

I scattered the squares.  First I stitched two squares together and then made them into four patches with the lights and mediums opposite.

When I stitched them together I really didn't try to match them up too much, because some of the mediums really look light.  It didn't matter it was a scrappy quilt.

I really had fun with the quilting.  I chained double stitched hearts in the border.

I had fun looking up nick names for babies to stitch on the quilt.

I managed to stitch alot of nick names on such a tiny quilt.

Lainey's Grandma loves turtles, so I had to include Turtle Dove.

I machine embroidery stitched the binding.

I stitched in the corner --- Made with love by Marcia and Ritch.   Lainey Marie is our cousin's grandbaby!

I folded the tiny baby quilt and slipped it into a one gallon zip lock bag, when I sent it through the mail back in June. That shows you how small the tiny baby quilt was. 

Enjoy!
