Baby quilt... and a store update!


I've been sewing up some of my oldest fabric stash, and I have an amazing baby quilt to share. I like to think of it as a 'Modern Vintage" quilt, and is a mix of vintage and vintage-reproduction fabrics. I followed a simple 9-patch pattern, I think each square was 3.5'' x 3.5 '', and cut some white squares at 9.5'' x 9.5''. I alternated the squares, as you can see in the pictures below. This was a very easy  baby quilt pattern if you're looking for a quick project. The dimensions of the finished quilt is roughly 33'' x 42''. I machine-bound the binding so it would stand up to years of use.

I used some leftovers for the back, and even made matching pillows. So cute! This will surely brighten any nursery!
