A Baby Size Luna Quilt

After I made this quilt a few weeks ago, I had some scraps and a few Lady Bird jelly roll strips leftover and I was anxious to put them to good use. They were perfect for making a baby size version of the Luna Quilt.

I have been adding jelly roll friendly patterns to my shop this year and Luna and Freya both fall into that category (you can find all of my jelly roll friendly patterns here). I LOVE this collection — the florals are so pretty and I love the coral combined with the other colors. By the time I was done making this baby quilt, I wished I had just bought another Lady Bird jelly roll and made a lap size version for myself.

Twin Diana Quilts - Rainbow Baby Quilts for Snowflake Babies

Let me tell you a little bit of backstory for these rainbow-y versions of the Diana Quilt pattern that I recently made.

My two oldest kids had the same teacher for 3rd grade. When my daughter was in her class, her teacher was just starting the adoption process. When my son was in her class a couple of years later, she adopted a baby girl (and of course I made her a quilt!).

Late last year, she sent me a text and asked if I would be willing to make quilts for her brand new twins. Of course I said yes (even though I still have a kid at the school, I didn't know that she had been pregnant because of distance learning and then later parents not being allowed in the school as a Covid precaution).

A Baby Quilt for a Friend

It seems like it is getting more and more unusual for my friends to have new babies - I'm not as young as I used to be! Recently I had a friend who was expecting a new baby boy and I decided it was a great opportunity to test out a new pattern I was working on.

This pattern won't be out for a couple of months, but I wanted to go ahead and blog about it before it got forgotten. This quilt was made with primarily primary colors pulled from my stash to coordinate with the backing fabric. I had a feeling that this friend would prefer a more traditional color scheme and I wanted to worked with what I have - and I have a LOT of backings for baby quilts.

A Baby Size Virginia Quilt

Usually when I write a pattern, I make try to make 3 different versions of the quilt so I can show it off with different fabrics. But for Virginia I couldn't help myself - this is version #4. 

I have been working through some of the baby size backing fabrics in my stash and there was one in particular that I just love and really wanted to use - it is the inspiration behind the colors in this quilt.

The Zoe Quilt - Baby Size

A couple of weeks ago, I decided (on a whim) that I wanted to make a baby size version of my newest pattern, the Zoe Quilt. Since I have been trying to use fabric in my stash, I pulled a quick scrappy-ish bundle and got to work.

This pattern is super fast and I put the entire quilt together in an evening. Of course by the time I basted, quilted, sewed on the binding, photographed, AND blogged about it - it took a couple of weeks.
