Baby Sewing

Here are a bunch of odds and ends flannel fabric. Some are scraps and others are a yard or more.

Here is a bin that I am determined to use up this month for baby projects. I won't be using the Christmas fabric but as much of the juvenile fabric as I can.

Here's a bunch of it draped on my longarm. I'm trying to coordinate the prints.

Here's one of the boy blankets that I made using the self mitered binding method found on Youtube. 

Here's a girl blanket. They are all different sizes depending on the amount of fabric I have.

These are some boy bibs. I still have to top stitch and add velcro to the stack on the right. I also made some burp cloths and wash cloths with the smallest pieces.

More boy bibs. I used up most of the boy fabric first. I only just got started on the girl fabrics.

This is a stack of different sized blankets and a couple of changing pads.

Here's a stack of girl fabric waiting to become something.  Some of these are leftovers from quilt backs that need to be transformed into something useful. 
I'm trying to get this used up by the end of March. Just a little goal for myself.

Moda Love Layer cake quilt

So I jumped on the bandwagon with this "Moda Love" quilt. I've been seeing versions of it all over my facebook groups. It was a free pattern from Moda Bake Shop Blog. In fact I think it was a quilt along. The instructions were posted at the end of January.  I put it together in one day. I used a white layer cake and a batik layer cake that has been aging nicely in a drawer. Here is my first layout. 
A little out of balance with the dark blue corner.

So I had enough Aqua squares to make 2 Aqua corners. Moved the blue to the middle. 
More balanced.

Then I took the green out. It got rather dull and boring.

Switched it up a bit here. Which one do you like best? After I quilt and bind it I'll do a reveal.
I need to figure out a backing first though.

This is my Remembering Cheri block of the month for February. 
It's from a Facebook group I belong to.

This is Jan and Feb next to each other. They haven't given us the assembly instructions yet. I still need March and April blocks to finish it. This sew along started last May.
