Baby Quilt

Now that I have a new little niece my mom, sisters and I wanted to make something for her. We decided on a baby quilt and the day Addy was born we went to the fabric store. Friday night my sister Kelly came down from Salt Lake to spend the night and work on the quilt. We set it up so we could each do a couple squares with the coordinating fabric we picked out that matches Addy's bedroom.


We were taking dinner to my brother and sister-in-laws house Sunday night and wanted to have it finished. It always happens, however, that things end up taking much longer than expected. We thought we would have it finished by Saturday afternoon. Well, we worked on it Friday night and through Saturday. My mom and I were up until three am Sunday and got everything but the binding for the edge done.

My mom made the centered square with Adalyn appliquéd on it and two other squares. I made two of my own squares and cut out and sewed my sister Elise's square because she ran out of time. My grandma Christensen came over and did a square. Kelly appliquéd bugs onto three squares and my youngest sister Caroline appliquéd a flower onto hers.

Sunday afternoon I hurried and sewed the binding on just in time to leave for their house. I folded it up, put it in a bright green gift bag and put white tissue paper in the top.

My sister-in-law, Tressa, and Addy's big sister Camryn loved the quilt. Cam played in it most of the night. It turned out so cute and it was fun to get everyone together to do it. Maybe we will have to make one for every new baby in the family.
