Beginnings of a new baby quilt-Rose Garden



I'm getting adventuresome, starting to design my first quilt. I got the idea for this new quilt from the cover of Joann's Fabric weekly flyer. This will be for Baby Quilt #5. I've chosen 5 fabrics to be sewn into 25 squares with 3 fabrics per square. My plan is that the finished quilt will measure close to 36" x 36". Here are the first two of the 25 squares.

Rag Quilt


For my 4th baby quilt, I decided that I wanted to try something different. So while I was shopping for flannel at Beverly's Fabrics, I found a Rag Quilt the store had made and put on display. It looked cozy and cute and something a little different to tackle with the sewing machine. I went online to their site and found a tutorial that was easy to follow. I just had to try it. It was fun and easy as promised and here is the result.
