I have a certain way I like to bathe my babies. I put out a quilt I made and then set the tub, complete with cloth covered baby propping tool on it. Then I set out a baby towel next to that on the right and on the left I have a tub of baby appropriate warmed water, scooping cup, baby bath and two washcloths. Some may think this is overdoing it but it becomes a nice bonding time for the babies and I. I take my time and they like the warm water. Of course this is easier for the baby over 2 months than the newborn. I don't think the newborns take too kindly to my stripping them down and then propping them in the tub. Those sweet ones get the uncover as you go method and not so much dunking. I'm as squeamish about bathing them as they are about receiving the bath. Bathing your new slippery baby can be a daunting task. Find your own comfort zone.

Timely help for beginner instructions to quilting
About Quilting This vibrant Snowball quilt block is assembled with a white on white interior and purple tips. A red heart is appliqued to the center of the 6" (finished size) block. If you're already into applique, the gentle heart will be a breeze, and beginners will find that it's a perfect first applique project (read my Needleturn Applique Basics for technique how-tos). The block is from a 2009 Quilting Forum event, where it was sewn by numerous members.

Both blocks are assembled the same way, it's just the color values that are flip-flopped, but the two versions are unique enough that I felt a separate pattern would be a good option for the quilt block shown here. I've included instructions to make the block's flying geese units in a couple of ways -- both are quick-pieced but one technique results in no fabric waste. Choose the method that works best for the fabrics you have on hand. I saw some examples online recently of quilts made using this value layout, but can't locate them now -- the blocks looked wonderful placed on point.

Permalink | Comment | Email this Hearts 'n Rags Rag Quilt Pattern Hearts 'n Rags is an easy rag quilt pattern, one that you can assemble pretty quickly. The quilt is made with a combination of block types: squares with raggy heart applique, plain floral squares, blocks cut from a border print and another unit created by sewing two bars together. Mine is lightweight, with no batting, but I've provided yardage and cutting instructions for a middle layer if you choose to add it. I machine sewed my hearts to the blocks and left their edges ragged, but didn't clip them. They frayed pretty well during a couple of washings, but feel free to clip into the seam allowance of yours to make them a little bit fuzzier.

Permalink | Comment | Email this Here's My Heart Quilt Pattern Here's My Heart is a 64" x 84" quilt that's a combination of patchwork and appliqué. Alternate Snowball blocks are adorned with Sunbonnet Sue and Overalls Sam -- two traditional characters that quilters seem to either love or hate. The appliqué blocks are separated by "chain-type" patchwork that helps create a diagonal flow across the surface of the quilt. Increase the quilt's size by adding blocks or altering the borders, or make a quick wallhanging from fewer blocks.

Permalink | Comment | Email this Mosaic Pinwheel Quilt Block Pattern I wanted the two sets of spokes in the Mosaic Pinwheel quilt block to vary a bit in color value, but not enough to create high contrast between the two areas. The result is a quilt block with subtle differences in its pinwheels, creating somewhat of a colorwashed look. Go with more contrast if you like, and maybe even consider this one for a brightly colored baby quilt.

Permalink | Comment | Email this Vintage Chains Quilt Pattern Those of you who know me know that I love vintage reproduction fabrics, especially prints that were popular during the Civil War era, and that's what I had in mind when I designed this quilt. The fabrics might not all be right-on, but it has a vintage flair. If you aren't a fan of the vintage-look, it's easy to change the quilt's look entirely by simply choosing different fabrics. I rarely sew with solids, but this is a pattern I might consider for an Amish style quilt, combining deep navy or black with brighter colors. To make the Vintage Chains quilt, you'll sew batches of two different ten-inch blocks, and then place them on point and add a couple of borders. The quilt finishes at about 84" x 98".

Permalink | Comment | Email this Snail's Trail Quilt Pattern I like the neutral theme of this Snail's Trail quilt, but the pattern will look good sewn with any contrasting fabrics you choose. The 9-inch blocks are constructed with two fabrics: one light neutral and one dark. A very dark inner border surrounds the blocks, with a wider border beyond it. The Snail's Trail quilt finishes at 70" x 77". Snail's Trail Quilt Pattern originally appeared on About.com Quilting on Saturday, January 21st, 2012 at 06:31:42. Permalink | Comment | Email this Singer Featherweight Photo Gallery Tiny by today's standards, when people see a vintage Singer Featherweight for the very first time they sometimes think the little sewing machines are toys, but Featherweights are actually dependable workhorses that sew an excellent straight stitch. I've had several Featherweights over the years, like this white version. It lives at my house right now, even though I gave it to my daughter years ago. She has a Bernina, but I expect her to retrieve this little guy at some point. You'll find more photos in our Featherweight Gallery, so take a look, and then consider sending me a photo of your sewing machine.

Permalink | Comment | Email this Single T Quilt Block Pattern There are many different types of traditional T quilt quilt blocks, but the Single T block variation is one of the quickest and easiest to make. The block is made up of half-square triangle units that come together to form a very visible T shape. At first glance the T block seems a little plain, but you can create all sorts of dramatic layouts with it by turning the blocks in different directions,.

The block finishes at 12" square, and looks nice when it's either straight-set or placed on-point. The design, with lots and lots of patches, is a perfect choice for your next scrap quilt.
