BABY QUILTS FOR MY STASH

I have three daughters, all beyond having babies, but every once an a while one asks for a baby quilt to gift to a friend, or co-worker.  So I keep a stash of them handy.  My stash has been severely depleted over the last couple of years and it was time to do something about that problem.
I love Carrie Bloomston's fabric lines.  The fussy cutting of the night sky, beach, and ocean on this quilt was such a fun addition to a rather plain half square triangle center.  I actually used a good deal of those same fabrics on my double wedding ring quilt, which I have yet to finish, but will someday.
My second finish was this animal quilt.  So fun and I really like the prints that came with the printed animal blocks.  Nice to finish off these two quilts.

    As a lover of anything Carrie designs your idea for the borders are great. Might try it someday.

    What a good idea!! You are SEW smart to keep a stash of baby quilts. Both turned out well, but I really LOVE that first one!

    That baby quilt is adorable. Love those fabrics you have chosen. I would love to have a peek at all your baby fabrics stash. =)

    I had to read your title twice to realize you were adding finished baby quilts to your stash -- not just fabric. Love the light to dark fabric. Looks great on the baby quilt and on your wedding ring quilt.

    I've just recently done the same. I really dislike being in the middle of a quilt and stop for a very late notice baby announcement. Looks good!

    Baby quilts are so much fun to make --- small and usually fun colors & themes!

    The border for that baby quilt is such a creative and fun idea! Beautiful fussy cutting. And I really love the animal blocks. Too cute!

    Both are wonderful! I wish I had a "stash" of finished quilts ready for gifting! Instead, I'm scrambling to finish baby quilts for babies already born, even as I learn of new pregnancies for which quilts are warranted. Always a day late and a dollar (or a quilt!) short at my house!

    You are very generous and your baby quilts are so cute. Have you taught your daughters to sew? You know the saying, "Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime."

    That's a great idea to have a baby quilt stash ready to go! Both are adorable.

    My friends and I are done having little ones, too, but it's always a good idea to have a few baby quilts ready to go. You never know! Your fabric collection choices here are so good. I love both CB's work and anything by Gingiber. The really brilliant part is that I think both finishes are gender neutral. Boy baby or girl baby, you're prepared!

    The border makes the quilt. How generous of you to make such precious baby quilts for your daughters to gift.
