This afternoon I finished long-arm machine quilting a baby quilt that my younger sister pieced. It is a fun mix of blues, golds, and peach fabrics in a variety of patterns.
My sister left it up to me to choose the over-all quilting design and I chose double loops, one of my favorite designs for baby quilts, especially quilts that have a lot of pattern and color in the fabrics.
As part of the design I also stitched the name of the baby one to the quilt in a square that wasn’t too patterned. Adding a name to a quilt is a fun way to add personalization and can be done in various ways.
For this quilt, I transitioned from the over-all double loops into cursive lettering and then continued the double loops. I went back after finishing the over-all design to dot the “I” and cross the ‘T.”
I really enjoy long-arm quilting baby quilts. They have some of the cutest fabrics, and helping my clients finish a sweet baby gift brings me so much joy! I hope the mom-to-be and the baby that this quilt are going to feel joy when they use this precious little quilt!
