1930's Reproduction Fabrics....again! This pattern came in an advertisement for quilting magazines. I used the pattern but didn't buy the magazine!
This is one of my favorite patterns for a baby quilt, I will definately try it again when the need arises. This one is for my cousin Barbie and soon to be born baby daughter Olivia. Can't wait to hear the news!

Nine Patch, an old fashioned pattern, done with more of those beautiful reproduction fabrics. This quilt went to a former employee who had a baby in February. I put flannel on the back for cuddling brought the back to front instead of binding it. Simple but soooo sweet.
I thought I was getting low on repros but a friend dropped off a few more pieces to incorporate in upcoming projects and I'm currently working on another variation with some of my repro scraps. My bins runneth over.

1930's reproduction fabrics, 4" squares set on point. I love the soft look of these fabrics,...I think this is the 4th one I've made.... I'll soon be running out of scraps!
The back is pink plaid flannel, for cuddling the new great niece to be born....soon?.....I hope so for the Mom's sake!

Yellow Brick Road in 30's fabrics with a yellow and blue border. My niece has adopted a little girl and she mentioned in her blog the variety of colors in the baby's room which is part office, part baby room. So these colors filled the bill I think. The back is the same fabric as the border, a lovely print I got in No Waterford at the Kedarburn Quilt Shop.
I have 6 squares left of the Yellow Brick Road....wonder what I'll make next?

Take 3 is the name of this quilt. I have seen it done by my friend Arlene a little differently than this but I like the randomness of this pattern. I did the closeups so to show off the cute baby faces on the fabric but it didn't quite come out large enough. This one is for a Nephew in Virginia whose wife had a baby in August, within hours of the other Nephew in Maryland....How do they do that????

Here I go again with SCRAPS! I had several blocks left from the quilt I made my grandaughter nearly two years ago so rummaged around the stash and taadaa!!! another baby quilt. This one will go to a Nephew of my husband down in Maryland whose wife just had their second child. The quilt for their first is below somewhere. How fun is this huh?

Yellow Brick Road: My niece Jen is having her 4th and finally a girl! This is made of the 1930's reproduction fabrics and I think it's just the sweetest look for a baby quilt. The pieces I had for finishing were small so I did the borders in 4 different patterns and also made the binding out of scraps, a look I've done before and always wonder why I don't do it more often! I put pink flannel on the back for cuddling.
