Puff Quilt for a Baby BOY

Now that the nursery bedding for our future baby girl is complete, it was time for me to start on baby boy bedding.

Step 1: I made 64 of these plush little pillows

Step 2: I sewed 8 of the pillows together creating a row

Step 3: I sewed all the rows together and created a border.

 McCall's Quilting was a great reference on how to make mitered boarders (for a beginner like me who needs visuals!)


Step 4: Add backing and binding

I added brown dotted minky for the back.



I can picture my sweet little boy wobbly walking over to this blankie and plopping down into the plushness of it all!

  3. NOOOOOOOO! There will be enough sports cra*, I mean stuff, around when he gets a bit older. The nursery is going to be bird themed and sports free! :)

  4. Little boys need their bats, balls, and trucks! I can't wait to see something Cornhusker...or even dirty rotten Yankees ;).

    Good job of branching out into the world of blue!

  5. Theresa, that is just un-American. There must be SOMETHING sports themed in a boy's room! Thank you for helping me know what to get you for your shower someday. ;)

  12. AL,

    Each pillow is filled with polly-fil. The top of the pillow is a 5 inch square and the bottom is 4 inch square. http://www.squidoo.com/biscuit_quilt explains it well. Hope that helps! :)
