Recently I had the absolute pleasure to make this very sweet quilt for a sweet new baby girl in our church family.

The design for this baby quilt started with the backing - a super soft Northcott flannel with dainty little flowers that I found at a little local quilt shop in Pequot Lakes, MN. With a prayer that I had fabric in my stash that would work with it, I purchased a few yards.

My stash didn't disappoint - Lullaby by Kate and Birdie for Moda fabrics is perfect with its neutral prints and peachy color.

After several designs attempts to work with what fabric I had, this simple strip design with a touch of classic from the nine patch/Irish chain link element was the winner.

I wanted the quilting to add a bit of whimsy and fun, and I think the Loop the Loop edge-to-edge longarm quilting pantograph from Urban Elementz does just that. 

I loved watching Loop the Loop panto quilt out. Stitched quickly and didn't use many bobbins.

 

Trying to capture the post-wash cuddliness here. The crinkly factor is amazing with this quilt!

It turned out so lovely and perfect. What a blessing to be able to make and gift this baby quilt.
