I made this colorful baby quilt for my niece’s first baby.
I alternated applique ladybugs and daisies stitched on the white blocks and then echo quilted in the hoop.
The green blocks are quilted with butterflies. Coordinating butterflies are designed for the sides, bottom and corners.
The quilt was assembled with a piece as you go technique, much like the “It’s a Girl” quilt.

Make an easy cozy fleece throw by adding a pieced and embroidered border and cutting in some fringe.
Ramona Baird designed and made this project with the Bear Paw in the hoop quick project and designs from Winter Teddies. The bear paw block is pieced in the hoop for accuracy. Use your continuous border hoop to stitch the holly border.

I love working with mixed media or multi-media as it’s also known. Quilting designs and redwork designs are particularly well suited for adding color with ink, paint, pencils, or other media.
For this project, I took one design and duplicated and rotated it three more times to create a block. I thought the center looked a little empty so I pulled out a swirly circular element, enlarged it, and placed it in the center.
Rather than the usual 40wt embroidery thread, I stitched with 0Wt Sulky Blendables. Additional color was applied with Tsukineko Inks, which dry soft and are permanent when heat set.
This was just a small sample project to see how I liked working with the inks for quilting. Small projects like this let you see how various designs and materials work and whether you like the process and the finished result.
Finish the center with a border and binding or turn it into a pillow cover. One less UFO in your stash!

Who said bluework designs can’t be purple? Or any other color for that matter?
This small baby quilt or wallhanging was stitched “trapunto style” with an extra layer of batting behind the embroideries, which was trimmed back after stitching.
Blocks were then pieced and assembled with another layer of batting and backing. Quilting was done as stitch-in-the-ditch.
The tenth bear design was used for a label embellishment on the back of the quilt. Label text uses Adine Script.
