"Whales" by Pat

There's a new baby coming to Pat's family, and the family requested a "Nautical themed" quilt. Pat went through her stash and found whales, shells, fish and some other coordinates to come up with this great design. Quilted with the "Whales" panto, which ties it all together perfectly.

We have a new baby on the way in our family! My husband's nephew and his wife are expecting their first baby, and I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. So, I opted for "neutral" colors. The background is actually seam foam green, but I ran out of dye and it's not as deep of a color as I had hoped. I still like it though. This next photo is of the backing, also seafoam, but a darker shade. All of the fabrics started out as white, but I hand dyed them all. So much fun and a new addiction for me to be involved with!

Panel quilt by Pam

Pam found this panel and liked it so much that she used the same panel for the backing! Added a border to both and sent it to me. I'm not sure if there is a baby to receive this or not, but it'll be ready when there is.

Since Pam mails her quilts to me, I get to choose the quilting designs. This is called "Windy Woods", and when I found it in my book, it leapt out at me and said "use me!" I hope Pam loves it as much as I do.

Batik baby quilt by Pat

This is for a future baby who's mother is a friend of Pat's daughter. Gotta love Pat, every wedding, every new baby, whatever the occasion, she makes a quilt for them.

I love the little hedgehogs on the backing!

"Sasquatch" baby quilt by Pat

Well why not Sasquatch on a baby quilt? The parents to be are very outdoorsy, hence the mushroom print for the background fabric. I had the design, showed it to Pat and she loved it.

Going by his other name, Bigfoot, and planted perfectly in the white.

And hiding in the border. Too fun!

6th one (of this batch) from Mary Beth

Mary Beth didn't quite have this top finished when she dropped off the first 5, so this came later. Leftover fabrics from the first ones, and made into a darling rail fence. Great Star panto for quilting. Can't wait to use this again.

5 from Mary Beth

There are 2 new babies coming into Mary Beth's life, and they are going to have more quilts than they know what to do with!

This is Mountains for Zeke. Quilted with a mountain motif in each block.

Kiernan gets "Ocean" above and below. Love the Interstellar quilting design she chose for this one.

This is called "Pink Whales and is also for Kiernan I love the Celtic knot design.

And finally for Kiernan, "Birds and Fish" Hard to see the Wax On" panto, but it's really cool.

One more for Zeke, he gets the "Baby Animals" complete with chicken wire quilting design. Too perfect!

Watch this space, Zeke has one more quilt coming.

"Animals" by Kim

Kim picked up her quilt today for her new nephew. When she dropped this off, the baby was known as "CP2", the family initials, and 2 for the 2nd baby. He is now here and named Caleb.

I love this print, and it's perfect for this quilt. Quilted with "Monstera" design of leaves.

"Hanky Panky" by me.

I have truly wonderful neighbors! Received a group text that Julia's "due date is May 31st." Julia lives literally right next door to me, so you'd think I'd have noticed a pregnant lady, but no! My first response was "Gotta make a quilt!". Since they are expecting a girl, I went with a pink theme. The pattern is something I found in my closet, and I do love 1930's prints, so just pulled a bunch of fat quarters from the stash.

The first time I met Pete, Julia's husband and dad to be was when he was riding past and stopped to look at the for sale sign on what became their house. Since I'm nosy, I promptly went over and suggested that they buy the house so we could have nice neighbors. Anyone on a bike must be nice. When they moved in, there were about 6 bikes for 2 people, so clearly the quilting design needed to be bikes. Can't wait to meet this new sweet neighbor.

"Baby Quilt Panel" by Kathy

Kathy is planning ahead for future grandchildren.

This started as a panel and she added frames to make it even cuter.

And used leftover blocks on the back

"La Petite Baguette" by me

So many of my friends and relations are having grand-babies this year! This one is completed first, even though the baby is not to arrive until August because "grand-mere to be" will be traveling to Paris (where the baby will live) in April. My friend Xande didn't think she'd ever have grandkids, so to hear that her daughter was expecting was a wonderful surprise. Never having met the parents, I only know that they like blue and orange, and Paris. I found a pattern in a a magazine that I enjoyed, and here it is. Since Xande is my "biking buddy", I looked through my collection of bike fabrics and that's where most of these came from.

The baby's "in utero" name is "La Petite Baguette", so that's where the name of the quilt comes from.

Koala baby quilt by Roberta`

Roberta has a grand-daughter who will turn 1 year old in Nov. 2022. She hand appliqued and then pieced this darling Koala quilt for her.

Feathers everywhere in the quilting! in the setting squares, and in the star blocks and borders. The trees got a little quilting design in the tree canopy and trunk as shown on the pattern. The bears just got little tufts in their ears, and it is all so cute!
