Vintage Chenille Baby Quilt

Last week I was playing in my Hidey Hole

and could not settle on working on one thing.

I found myself jumping from thing to thing to thing.

I finally stopped and looked around me

and realized that I had a LOT quilts

"In the Works"....

Too many.

Something had to happen.

Some of these quilts needed to be finished and out of my room.

Several quilts needed to be quilted and bound, 

so this is where I started.

The Vintage Chenille baby quilt is finished!

It is pouring outside, so very dark and dreary today.

This photo shows the colors of the various

vintage chenille squares the best.

 

 I bought the precut squares at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Show

from a vendor who had the most beautiful baby clothes made from chenille,

 antique doilies and embroidered table runners.

Two packs of precut squares made this little quilt.

I backed with a sweet little rosebud print,

cotton batting was used

and it was stitched in the ditch.

 

This was more difficult to make then I anticipated.

Sewing over the "chenille" parts was a pain

and stitching in the ditch took some effort as well.

 

It is finished

and ready to be gifted to the next baby girl born in the family.

Woohoo!

One quilt is out of my room.

In addition to finishing the baby quilt,

one of the neon socks is finished.

I am VERY disappointed....

These don't glow in the dark!

:D

I'm linking to Whoop Whoop and Patchwork Times today.

Happy Friday!
