January – a new project – puffed baby quilt

I had a great time off for Christmas and now I’m ready to start a new project. The last few weeks I have been finishing a few bits and pieces and planning my next few months.I saw a puffed baby quilt on Facebook a while ago and have been dying to try making it.

To start off with I cut some 4.75 inch squares for the tops and 4 inch squares for the bottoms. The difference in size is so that when they are sewn together there is room for toy stuffing.

To prepare for sewing, I pinned 3 sides together with a pleat, leaving the fourth side open so it can be stuffed

After stuffing the square, the fourth side is sewn up creating this rather cute unit:

I now have 164 to make !!
