A Rag Quilt For the New Baby....

I LOVE PINK...
 So it was easy to select  the colors of fabrics for the rag quilt I was making  for my niece's baby shower gift . 

They would be PINK.

   I had also made the "Little Princess to Be",
this cute leopard coat that you can read about HERE.
This was a fun project to make and the Internet has lots of information about making a rag quilt.

Here's the finished project.


When you sew the quilt together
you leave all the seams facing outward.


 Once you  have finish sewing the quilt together it's time to through it in the washing machine and dryer
The edges fray when the quilt is washed and dried.
Can you see the frayed edges?



Here's a closer look at the finished quilt.
I purchased all the flannel at Jo Ann's. 
I love the stripe and butterfly fabric.
  They have silver glitter on them.

Every Baby Girl needs a bit of
BLING!


I lined the back of each square with a PINK polka Dot flannel.
I cut 35 blocks 8"x8". 
 There were 5 blocks across and 7 blocks down.


 Boxed it up, and wrapped it up with some tissue.
 PINK of course!


Hand stamped a little label.....


Handmade by Aunt Sherry....


I saved the best gift for last. 
 Later in the week I'll share with you the book
I made for my new niece.

"Baby's First 12 Months"
Here's a sneek peek...


Stop back to take a look at the entire book.

I'll be linking up to .....
