My niece, Callie, will be having a baby this spring, and I have decided to make her a baby quilt. I have plenty of time to whip up a small baby quilt for the baby shower in April.
I have seen a baby quilt of the 3 bears in a bed, everyone snuggled in, sleeping. (Hibernating?) I am going to make a variation of that. I start with sewing 9-patches into a "quilt" for the bears.
Next I make freezer paper bears for my applique patterns:
Add the bears's quilt back in to see how it will look. Size and spacing looks good.
I start making the bears. The parent bears will be sleeping, but the cubs are mischievious and will be awake!
I remove the bear applique pieces and finish sewing the bed:
The quilt is done except for putting the bears on. It's a quilt of a quilt!!
The bears go on, some details are added and it's ready to sandwich, pin, and go under the longarm.
Here is the finished quilt!
