Baby quilt pictures
The complete quilt is bigger than traditional baby quilt size, which I realized when I went to buy batting and the “crib size” was a bit too short on all sides. It should fit in a crib if it’s folded or tucked under something. Plus, it will still be useful on a little bed in a few years, or spread on the floor to provide a soft surface for doing whatever it is a baby does before it can even hold up its own head, or to warm the family snuggling on the couch.
I know that white isn’t the best fabric to use for the back of a baby quilt, since it will show the stains of use and quickly lose its crisp color, but I really wanted soft flannel dinosaurs and this material was the only option for immediate purchase. (It was a race between me and the baby — who would be done first?)
Note to self: close bathroom door before taking pictures of future projects. Better yet, go outside during the day for natural light.

WOW Amy - I’m very impressed. The quilt is beautiful - for being your 2nd, maybe 3rd quilt - you’re doing AMAZING!!!! I definitely think that you’re ready for a bargello - you can borrow my book if you like - when you’re taking a break from aprons and other items, I’ll send it on out! Once again - BEAUTIFUL! (PS - I’ve never ‘posted’ to one of these so called ‘blogs’ - consider yourself amazing to have inspired me to leave my first message!)
