Category: Quilting

Materials
Cotton & Flannel materials, fleece for the quilt back, piping around the book cover, batting for quilt and soft book, polyester stuffing for the pillow, quilt binding tape, thread, sewing supplies, and tools.
What was your inspiration?
The upcoming baby! I wanted to make some items that were not the "usual" and not knowing (at the time) the sex of the baby, I decided not to use the Pink and Blue for the quilt and went with the more Nature inspired colors and the outer border (to me) represents the 100 acre wood - of which the Winnie-the-Pooh is said to reside in. Then I saw the book pattern and thought it would match as well. The pillow I made from the scraps of the quilt. On another project there is the diaper cake (in the back ground) I made for them too. The quilt measures 45.5 w x 44 L.
What are you most proud of?
How well they were received by the parents-to-be. I also love the Winn-the-Pooh applique and how cute it looks on there.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
It was not done in one day- so take your time and decide the size you want to make, then make sure you have enough materials before beginning, and as always, have fun!
