I’ve just finished a custom order baby quilt and pillow and wanted to share them with you. I used V & Co’s Ombre Confetti Metallic fabric and it is just so darn cute in a baby quilt. They came out with quite a few new colors recently and they are so fun to use in sewing.
I did 16-patch blocks in a checkerboard pattern. The background fabric is Robert Kaufman Indigo Chambray. Chambrays are nice fabrics for backgrounds because they have a little more interest to them than solids.
I used Warm and Natural cotton batting and quilted it on the diagonal, right over all the background squares. Then I made a bias binding in a Hawthorne Thread fabric called “Artisan Stripe in Gold“. They have this great stripe in 93 COLORS – do you believe that? I cut 2.5” strips on the diagonal and made binding from that. I love the look and the gold binding matches the metallic gold in the confetti fabric so well. I used my usual machine binding technique.
The backing was a fabric from Art Gallery called “Dream Big” in baby blue. It has large words that say, “love dream believe repeat” and it makes a great backing fabric. The finished quilt was 32″x48″.
The customer also wanted a reading pocket pillow, so I made one. I plan on a pattern soon in the shop for this. Stay tuned!
This quilt and pillow are SOLD.
Thanks for dropping by!

Love the quilt Elaine but the reading cushion looks like its sagging at the corners – I make mine exactly to the size of the cushion – therefore if the cushion is 18” then I cut my material to 18” and sew quarter inch seam to make it a snug fit – works for me xxx

It might just be the photo – I cut mine to 18″ and then use 1/2″ seam to sew all the way around. You can look at other pillows I have made in my shop – I think I took better photos of those!
