I started this quilt last week on a bit of a whim. I have no need for yet another baby quilt, but I ran across a small stack of my hand dyed fabrics and had an idea suddenly pop into my head. Tell me I am not the only one this happens to! I should have been doing something else, but I started cutting.
And then I started quilting.
And before I knew it I was binding and it was done!
That’s a bad picture if you are looking for quilting details, but I thought it was kind of a fun shot. Here is a better one.
And the back.
A few detail shots:
I had a lot of fun playing with the quilting on this one.
I shared a picture of this cutie, Little E, the other day, but I can’t resist a few more. I call him Mr. Squishy because I just want to squeeze him!
That face!

That face indeed! What a doll!
And the quilt isn’t too shabby either!
Great quilt with fabulous quilting! And that baby, such cuteness!
This is so cute! Beach balls it is! Love the bright hand dyed fabrics against the white…they pop or bounce off the fabric! Your quilting is gorgeous as always. Mr. Squishy is just that too!
Mr. Squishy indeed! Nice to meet another person who “just wants to squish ’em” meaning all babies…oomph! Also nice to meet another DREAMI soul, something I am just writing about in my post for today! DRop Everything And Make It. I absolutely LOVE how this quilt turned out! I’ll admit at first I wasn’t sold on the two outside rows of triangles but oh yeah baby! Yu totally rocked the quilting.ha I also just realized another quirk we share: hanging quilts from tree branches! Lol.
Little E is a big ADORABLE! Katy, do you have micro handles? I noticed the pebbles and just wondered about how you move your Avante in such small circles. Have a blessed weekend.
This is beautiful! The quilting! That face!
What an amazing quilt, Katy! Love how you let yourself go creatively in those open spaces. Little E is the most adorable quilt model ever!
Some of the best quilts are the unplanned ones. This is a fun quilt and your hand-dyed fabrics look so good in it! I can’t believe how many different quilting designs you were able to put in this small quilt – it looks amazing. The best picture is the last one because you’re right – that face!!! 🙂
