What do you see?

 A few posts ago I mentioned that I made a second taggie quilt for my sister-in-law who is expecting her second bundle of joy later in August. When I saw the Brown Bear, Brown Bear fabric a few months back I knew it would be perfect.The quilt pattern is of my own design, and had I been a bit more experienced in the process I would have assembled it much differently! Nevertheless I prevailed and a lesson was learned in what not to do.

I love all of the different textures for the babies to feel on the taggie quilt. In addition to the taggies, I used some red ribbon to make an interior boarder on the top. It adds a great pop of color too.

I absolutely love the way it turned out.

A Baby Taggie Quilt

With the upcoming arrival of my 2nd child, I was inspired to work on something just for her. When I found this pattern I was in love. As my first quilt, I liked that it was fairly simple... or at least appeared to be. None of those daunting triangles or crazy appliques to worry about, but yet it was still different. The initial quilt was designed by Katie Hennagir of Katie Hennagir Designs and I bought it and the fabric at baywindowquiltshop.com.

The quilt was so much fun to work on, and I can't believe how relaxing I found the whole process. In fact, I liked it so much that I just kept adding to it, making it a bit bigger and adding some extra embellishments. All in all, it took me about 3 weeks to finish it and I absolutely adore it. To the design I added the three boarders to the outside of the quilt top and the two boarders to the backing. It allowed me to increase the size of the quilt a hair for when baby really starts rolling around! The finished quilt is now 42 inches square.
