Baby Blanket






My cousin Sarah had a baby recently and I wanted to make her something unique as a gift. She had chosen "the Jungle" as the theme for the baby's room and I just happened to find this really cute print at the store. So I made a little baby quilt ( well not so little, its about 3.5 by 4 feet). I sewed around all the little squares on the print to really make it look quilted. It was a new experience for me to quilt something. And of course a challenge considering that home sewing machines were not made fro large projects like this. But as Tim Gunn says " Make it work", and I did. Everyone loved it, even though the corners were a little off. Lesson learned: be meticulous about the measurements!
