I’m having fun making my baby quilt. I have found an easier quicker way of making the square pouches for the puffed quilt. Instead of pinning each pleat on the 3 sides I have found a pinching technique which doesn’t require pinning.

Sew about 6 stitches along the first side. Line up the bottom side with the bottom of the underneath square as shown in the first picture. Pinch the resulting flap and line up with the edge and then sew over it making it flat. Then repeat on the other 3 sides

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 !!

This is made out of boys clothes. I choose this design as it was a male recipient. It was finished by quilting in the borders and in the blocks. If you would like a quilt like this or a different design let me know and I can give you an accurate price.

Check out my fabric advent calendars. They can be used year after year. They are all available on my Etsy shop, which includes dimensions and prices

I have been creating quilts to sell on Etsy for the last 2 years. My main interest is making custom quilts. The photos are examples. There are many options. You can choose fabric and then send it to me or I can find fabric with your guidance on colours and design. Likewise with the design, we can work out a totally new design or you can choose one that I have already made before.

Another option is to send me old clothes to make a sentimental quilt.

The price depends upon the size and the complexity of the design.

If you are interested please give me a shout. This was the review from the lady I made the white quilt

Her patience, ability to listen and create such a beautiful keepsake is truly amazing!! I am so grateful to have worked with Julie on this special project. I recommend her highly!
