This is the baby quilt I've been working on & that I had questions about before starting on it. Thanks to all who gave me suggestions about the batting (fusible vs. spray basting). I used spray basting & a few pins. I think it turned out really pretty. I could not find a print backing that matched so I used a solid fabric. Lessons learned.....solid fabric shows up every mistake.  I used a blended batting made of 50% Rayon from bamboo & 50% certified organic cotton. It turned out really, really nice. I didn't want anything too heavy because of our hot Texas weather (year round). It's soft & light weight. I did some free motion hearts around the outer, pink border (I drew them on first with a washable marking pen & then followed the lines.) The shower is next Saturday so it's finished just in the nick of time. This was a kit I bought from the Fat Quarter Shop.This message has been edited.

Thanks for all the complements. Downsuth, I like for baby quilts to "go beyond" baby times so I try to make them so that they can use them for a long time. Nicki We live in the home of the free...because of the brave. | |||

Ditto as to what DownSouth stated! Nice pattern layout as well. Not too busy, just enough to help babys eyes focus. makes me want... to snuggle and hit the hay. ~Patch We can have more than we've got, because we can become more than we are. --Jim Rohn | |||
