Baby quilt. Can I have your opinion about these colors? I am making a baby quilt with "cowboy colors". Deep brown Canberry Rich gold Medium hunter green These fabrics make up a four patch and have slightly different patterns but all of them have a Swede look. (100% cotton) They will be off-set with a medium light swede looking green. (This gives it a very "cheery" up-beat look) I think it looks very sharp, but my daughter thinks it looks too "old" for a baby. Do you think I should make one with common little boy colors instead? Just needing some opinions. I know its hard without actually looking at it, but .........tell me what you think. OH, it is for a baby boy. I want to thank EVERYBODY for you input. I will continue on the path that I begain. I may use a cowboy print on the boarder and for the back of the quilt as well!!!
I want to make a quilt out of my daughters baby clothes. like pieces. anyone have a pattern etc? I had this thought in my head i know its probably not original but if its not that is ok maybe someone can show me how. i want to take pieces of my daughters outgrown baby clothes you know the special things and make a quilt. now i was thinking of a bigger square as the back ground and a smaller square in the middle with the baby material. now i have watched quilting shows and they just usually put sides on the square to make it look like a bigger on the bottom but is it ok to do it the way i said? oh and i have never made a quilt but have watched my mom for years and no i cant ask her for help. Thanks for any help.

Are there any specific ways to do this? Third-use squares on the front and solid on the back. Directions? Help! I am NOT a sewer by any means but would like to try making some quilts. THanks!!!

about making a quilt for my baby?

Please tell me how to make a quilt of old baby clothes-just squares, nothing fancy.? Please help! I have all these baby clothes that I don't have the heart to donate (they are the ones I couldn't part with) and instead of keeping them in storage I'd like to make just a simple square quilt with all of them. Can you please send some simple instructions? I have a sewing machine, and can only really sew a straight line and really don't know how to use a pattern. I'd like to just cut them into squares and sew them together. Any easy guidance on this? I'd truly appreciate it! Thanks!

Do you have little quirks about your fav hobby? I was just curious how many of you out there have little quirks about your fav hobby? Like for example, my very fav hobby is cross stitching prequilted, prestamped baby quilts. When I start them I ALWAYS start working on the outline of the pattern first, then all the stain stitch, & french knots, that way after all that I only have the x's left to do. I used to not only do all that, but when all that was done, then Id go & do all of 1 color through the whole quilt, but I now do only 1 area after all the outline, satin stitch, & french knots are done. And I ALWAYS make sure my hands are super clean when I work on the quilt. I want to know its super clean when i work on it. If there is a stain on it, (that is if its not on the pattern), I use those colorx bleach pens to get the stain out, before it has to be washed. PLus, if its blood for example I use proxide (helps boil out the blood), & then the bleach pen. But I only do the baby quilts that are white to begin with, that way that way none of the colors fade. Also I am my WORST critic, if it dosnt look right, i take out what is done, & start back over again, till it looks right. What are your little quirks about your fav hobby you do?

First time quilter, I need help? As far as sewing goes I am definitely a beginner, but as long as I have step by step directions of whateber I am doing I can sew it. I have sewed my daughter a few blankets and also a pillowcase dress. But I am ready for a bigger and better project. My cousin is due with her 1st baby in August, we are planning a shower for her the middle of July, which means I have a month and a half to complete my quilt. I wanted to make her a quilt because for one I just enjoy the being able to give somebody something that for one didn't come form wal-mart and two they can cherish and know that it was handmade. I have read online a few on different sites but I have a few questions on some. What is a scant seam? If I want to make just a simple bock quilt made up of around 24 squares (I don't have a pattern) How do I go about measuring how big my blocks need to be etc...? If someone could give me step by step instructions (quilting for dummies if you will) I would greatly appreciate it. Thank You
Quilting? Learning the basics? I want to make one for my baby when it gets here so I dont have time for elaborate details. I know what i want to do as far as pattern and color goes but i still need help with borders and stitching. Im going to hand stitch because i want it to be more personal and i dont like sewing machines. I know a simple stitch, enough to make a pillow or sew on a patch. Any help?
