WIP Wednesday - Commissioned Baby Quilts

Last week, I was given the opportunity to make two commissioned baby quilts.  The customer picked the colours.  I went fabric shopping on Friday and cut fabric on the weekend.

The customer is hoping to get them as quickly as possible, and because it is a simple layout, I was able to get both tops pieced this week.



I think easy loop FMQ to finish them off this weekend.  They finish around 40 x 46 inches.

    Love the quilts but I have gotten sidetracked with the background...no snow? How can that be? :)

    Our lives must be linked because I've been commissioned to make 2 baby quilts in the past week or so as well! How crazy of a coincidence is that?! Lol. You're much quicker than I though. One top is nearly pieced and the supplies for the other was bought today. I think FMQ loops would look lovely on these, though I love loops on patchwork like this. :)

    You are moving right along with both of those. They are going to jump from WIP to finished pretty quickly. I'm sure they will be much loved :)

    I love simple patchwork, it lets all of the different fabric choices and colors shine.

    They are both really lovely Anja. I'm partial to the purple one.

    That is quick work! Squares make great baby quilts - lots of colour but not too precious as they have to survive lots of use and washing.

    Lovely quilts and beautiful, accurate piecing. Something that is a challenge for me. Continued Happy Stitching!

    They're lovely. I think an overall quilting pattern will be the perfect touch.

    Very pretty! I love the purple/green top. That is always my favourite colour combo. So beautiful!
