I do apologize for the blurry picture! Took this with
my digital... but will scan a better picture as soon as possible! This is
a baby quilt... just simple squares with sashing strips. Mottled blue squares,
and cherub squares are alternated. What makes this little quilt really special
is the gathered border. (See detail below) It is also a cherub fabric. In
order to simplify the process of adding the border, I first rounded the
corners. This is for my first grand daughter, Alyssa Marie.... see picture
below!
In order to add this gathered border, I cut a 4 1/2" strip that was twice the measurement of the quilt edge. I then put a basting thread 1/4" in from each edge of the strip. I gathered one edge, pinning it (right side to right side) to the quilt edge in a 2:1 ratio. I then gathered the outside edge, being careful that the gathers would correspond to the first set of gathers.
See baby with quilt below.
To the left is Alyssa Marie at the age of 1 week. I also made the little crocheted outfit she has on.
