Simple Marks Baby Quilt

I fell in love with the Simple Marks fabric when I saw it.  I have a particular fondness for warm earthy colours and together with the designs on the fabrics I knew that I had to make a quilt.

No cutting was required for the quilt top as I used Moda Charm Packs.  I did take time to decide where to place the squares.  Sometimes I will lay the pieces out and leave them overnight and look at the positioning again the next day and make adjustments before I commit myself to sewing.

More recently I’ve got into the habit of taking a series of photographs before any sewing begins so that I am entirely satisfied that the placement is right.

This baby quilt was made using Moda Simple Marks Charm Packs (100% cotton).  The quilt is backed with green fabric with a pretty, subtle fern design and the binding is in a muted green.  Good quality wadding is sandwiched in between the layers.

The quilt was made on a domestic sewing machine and the binding was completed by hand.

The approximate measurements are:

W36" x L45" or W92cms x L115 cms

The baby quilt is machine washable on a gentle setting.
