A dear friend is having a baby boy any day now so I made her this small quilt. It measures about 24″ square, just the right size to use in a stroller or car seat.
It being August and all, I skipped the batting and used a piece of flannel for the back so it’s cosy but lightweight. I figure it will come in handy around September when the evenings start getting cool here in upstate New York.
I spotted this sweet bee fabric while traveling at the beginning of the summer and snatched it up because my friend’s school has a beekeeping club. The rounded corners are a cinch to make since there isn’t any batting — just pin the fabrics right side together, cut your corners, stitch, flip right-side out, top stitch around the outside to close the gap, and quilt. Easy peasy.
