Quilts We’ve Made: Beautiful Baby Girl Quilts

Before the arrival of the Little King, Audrey welcomed three baby girls into their family.  Of course, with each new baby came a new quilt.  All of these quilts were made by Diane as part of grandma’s baby gifts.

First in line is Molly’s scrappy striped quilt. Her nursery was decorated in pink and green with bird accents.

The quilt is composed of various widths and lengths of stripes, which were sort of improvised along the way.

Wool felt birds perch here and there for added interest to curious baby hands.

The quilting was done with variegated thread in a simple meander.

Next to come along was little Amelia, with a brightly-colored pennant nursery.

The walls of her nursery were a vibrant tropical sea blue, with pink and yellow accents.

Her quilt was a perfect match to her room, with its bright colors and scrappy diamond pennants.  The quilting was done in a series of concentric circles in light blue thread.

You may recognize this last quilt from the mini quilt sneak peek we shared last week.

The baby size Chunky Chevron was actually made twice, once for another of Diane’s granddaughters, and then immediately after for Audrey’s third girl, Daphne.

The rainbow of colors made the Chunky Chevron easy to match with Daphne’s pink, blue, and gray nursery theme.  This was quilting in loops with a combination of white and variegated thread.

Baby quilts are so much fun to make.  Because they are smaller, they don’t take as much time, and it’s less intimidating to try a new technique.  And of course, the best part about a baby quilt is the baby!
