Mama Made: Owl Quilt

I thought I share a little quilt that I made up for a friend of Kartik's. They are expecting a sweet little baby any minute now!


The quilt is from the same pattern as the ones I made Amaani and Ishu; but due to experience, a new sewing machine, and not being pregnant; it is much better constructed.


 I took a few pictures of my favorite prints...



And of the little loop I added to hang keys/binkies/toys from. I can never keep track of any of those when I'm out with the kids.



Quilting is like the junk food of sewing-- and I mean that in the nicest way. Sewing this was so much fun that I felt guilty while I was making it, and was sad when it was over! Luckily I still have a bunch of scraps. :)

  4. This so cute and simple! Thanks for sharing! I a *very* new to sewing so I have a question- what does adding the embrodery floss to the quilt do, does it add structural support?

    Thanks :)

  5. What type and brand of batting did you use? The last baby quilt I made came out a little too stiff for my liking.

    1. Warm and natural cotton batting. It's a bit pricy, but I really love the weight, and the fact that it doesn't need to be quilted closely.
