Pattern Info

Pattern info for this project can be found here:
Simplicity S4993

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Children

Style: Cute


Materials

Fleece for the backing and poly cotton patches

What was your inspiration?

I had already sewn a black and white one and my daughter asked if i would make this for her friend whose baby is due soon.

What are you most proud of?

that it turned out so well.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

The simplicity pattern has instructions for double cotton with wadding between but i used fleece backing and poly cotton patches. I did not put any wadding in because the fleece is thick, soft and warm. i think this made it quicker to make and easier.

I have never made a quilt before and I would like to try this one for a Christmas present. Do you think this would be an "easier" quilt for a beginner? Any advice on how to make it easier?

That's what I'm going to do. Also it will be my 1st quilt ever & I'm rusty on sewing, but my daughter is pregnant with my 3rd grandchild and I lost my mom 2 yrs ago....she made quilts for my 1st 2 grandkids and my daughter too! I want to do something cute, but different than mom.

Beautiful quilt. I love those bright colors. I made a kitty cat like that for my daughter, but used all pinks and whites.
