Homemade Baby Bedding Part II


I'm sewing bedding for my grandson, the plans were posted in a previous entry.

The first stage was to cutout the bumper, sew the quilt top, and put everything together to send out for quilting. A very nice lady in Iowa who owns a machine quilter put musical notes all over these pieces with her machine and shipped it back to me for the next step. If anyone needs a machine quilter, contact me through this blog and I'll put her in contact with you. Above is a sample picture of what I got back, quilted and ready for Step 3. But if you'd like to see closeups of the quilting, here's a page: http://www.ourhomemadehouse.com/MachineQuiltedCutoutBedding/
So, Step Three is to finish cutting out these pieces and sew them together. And here are some samples of how it's progressing:
So far, I'm really pleased with the way it's turning out.
