I have had the tops done for my 3 LITTLE LETTERS baby quilts for a few weeks now..
The patterns are by Sheryl at
Sheryl put out the patterns twice a week so I slowly followed along.
Today I quilted them all.
I tried a new quilting design that I have seen on some blogs lately. I had fun with it.
This is such a great quilt for a baby..
This pink one has an off centre spiral. It was done using only the foot spacing. It is quilted heavier than I normally do but I think it looks good.
This will be a present for a friend this month..
You can't really see the green letters with this photo but they are pretty
I started the spirals small and moved out to a larger spacing. I am happy with it.
Here are all 3 hanging together.
And the backings were a great bargain. 2 were from Ballan when I was there on retreat. The other one I have had for a while. They all have the alphabet on them so they were a perfect choice.
Next on today's list was some bags. My mum was giving these knitting Nancy kits to a family with 3 children. She wanted a bag to store all the pieces together with some wool.
A drawstring was used for ease.
Because there was 3 children I decided to make an extra work in progress bag for each of them. At telecast then they store there work all together without leaving a mess for their mum or losing anything.
I hope they are happy with them.

I am not sure if I will make some more of these quilts but maybe. They were fun and a great baby quilt

They're all wonderful! I think I like the offset spiral quilting on the pink one the best...I like that it's a bit off from center! :0)

Your quilts are lovely Jo and I like the circular quilting. I'm sure the 3 children will love their bags. The work in progress bags are a great idea. Cheers, Tracy.

Hi Jo!Your quilting really added another dimension to your little letter quilts. I love the simplicity of one color. This really was a fun sew along and easy, adorable patterned quilt in the end. So glad you rejuvinated this one at TUesday Archives this week.
I enjoyed this alpha quilt along too - the simple one color is wonderful and great backing fabrics.
I love the alpha quilts. Wish I could find all the posts so I could make one!
