A cute baby quilt

 A very good friend of mine had a baby girl, so I made her a quilt. It was the first baby quilt I had made and it was great how it came together so quickly.Just  a  simple square in a square using my scraps of fig tree fabrics.
 Instead of making a label I used some sew in ones that I made on the computer.
 Quilts always look so good rolled up, I sat this one in my lavender bush.
 I also made some burp cloths with the same fabrics I used in the quilt. The hexagon one has 1930's prints. I really enjoyed making these just for something a bit different.
I'm going great guns with my new winter Americana quilt, I really enjoy sewing the triangles into rows and watching them turn into stars.
Today I have some sewing for work to finish then I think I'll find some stitching to do and watch a movie.
Have a great day and I hope you find some sewing time.

Love your Americana quilt. The triangles at the top of your blog look so crisp and clean, great look for that pattern! The baby quilt and accessories are wonderful and the new mom will love them.
