Raggedy Baby Quilt

Sharon — Sun, 23 Dec 2012 22:31:40 GMT

a project I'd wanted to try - a package of layer cakes (flannel) plus a few extra flannel pieces that I had. I didn't use any batting, since it is also flannel backed. 1/2-inch seams (that was hardest to remember) and all seams 'up', then clipped for that raggedy look. Cut the 10-in squares into 8-inch squares for a better size.

'Sweet Caroline' pattern for Caroline & Carter

I made mom a quilt for while she was expecting Carter. Caroline (the older sister) got one with bugs and quilting is her name, apples, flip-flops -- stuff a 3yr old could recognize. Carter's quilt has dogs, kitties and animals on it. The quilting is the outline of mom, dad & big sister's hands. Mom's, Caroline's & Carter's quilt all have some materials in common, along with the same backing.

This quilt includes materials from the 1960's & 70's, my mom's wedding dress (circa 1949), my wedding dress (1972), my maid of honor, my bridesmaids, some Greenshields tartan (from my father's side) and all types (including some 'leathery' stuff that were pieces of clothing that my sister & I made and wore. The backing is some great material (I got it at a quilt store in Puyallup, Wa (The Quilt Barn) that has 'peace, love, joy, peace symbols, etc' -- great for the time period!
