Raggy Edge Quilts

This was my first time making raggy edge quilts. I loved how quickly these came together. A lot of prep work but it was fairly simple after that.

I made these for 2 of my cousins who are expecting their first baby's very soon (one could even be giving birth right now!!!). I was very excited to find out they were expecting and I set to work straight away thinking of something to make them. I had asked around to see if they had any preference for colours (I was hoping they were going to find out the gender. Maybe next time??) but the only answer I got was 'green' and 'brights'. Not a lot to go off but I think I did pretty well.

First up was the 'green' quilt. I love the cute little baby hand prints
and who could resisit the sweet little birdies on this one.

I'm also a bit fond of the green and white dots.

The backing fabric was some flannelette that I had in my stash. It is so soft and snuggly.

Next was the 'brights' one. This one was fun to do because of all the colours.

I love how the blue backing fabric makes a border around the squares.

The backing fabric is another that I had in my stash.

Cute little animals.

Here they are both together. They aren't huge but enough to use in the pram or in the car or even as a floor rug. Maybe when the babies get bigger they can use it as a lap quilt.

I loved making these quilts. I loved seeing my cousins open their gifts and knowing that they really do appreciate all the time, effort and love that went into making them.

I will definitely make more of these in the future. I'm hoping there will be more baby cousins sometime soon ;)
