The Baby Quilt

And my first finished quilt ever!

And first sewing for baby project!

Oh im so in love with this baby quilt. I love the colors so much. Although this quilt is so not perfect, but im pretty happy with it. Being a first time quilter, without the right equipment (quilting walking foot, free motion foot, etc) and experience, thats explain this messy quilt stitch i did at the quilt back pictured below. I found the continuous stitch pattern from the internet (sorry.. totally forgot the link), absolutely not easy to sew with my standard sewing machine and foot.

I use the Soire'e Charm Pack by awesome designer, Lila Tueller, that i have in my stash. There was one time in the past, that i was so addicted to charm packs (5' x 5' fabric squares), i just bought and kept them like precious collections. Im so glad i have a reason to use them now. For the backing and binding, i use plain pink and dark brown cotton blend fabrics. Pink and dark brown is my most favourite color combo, very yummy combo - like chocolate and strawberry ice-cream, i plan to use this combo on the baby beddings too.

I learn a lot from this awesome quilter, Amy Smart, through her awesome blog, Diary Of A Quilter. She has complete tutorials about quilting basic like add binding and borders. And i love this particular charm-pack baby quilt tutorial. So helpful.

I appreciate comment and suggestion from experienced and dedicated quilter friend out there. Im so in love with this quilt, i think i'll be making more quilts in the future.

By the way, im currently 36 weeks right now. Im very excited and nervous at the same time, thinking i might be in labour any time from now.. haha... More baby stuffs coming soon.
