This morning I got up and got excited to work on a little baby quilt. First, I love Lilac and this material is so pretty! Next, I have the challenge of putting little cute stars on the quilt. I thought I'd blog my progress. I ordered the fabric and received it, next I washed it. This is for a baby and I didn't want to worry that the dye in the fabric would bother that sweet newborn skin. While it washed, I worked on making 3 different sized stars. Not perfect and pointy, but slightly wonky and curvy. I drew and drew till I liked them. I cut the out of soft microfiber white fabric so they will be super soft on baby's skin.
I cut the main fabric 40x50 for a crib sized quilt. Laid it on my bed and arranged a pleasing look with the stars
Next I'm going to take the little stars and sew them like a pillow to applique onto the quilt. I considered using fusible interfacing, but I didn't want the stars stiff, so I just cut 2 layers of stars to sew together. I plan on blanket stitch around them before I quilt. I'll take more shots as I go along, I'm off to play with fabric!
Blessings to all who read this....Dot
