It looks awesome! I have made a few quilts, but I want to make one by sewing one square to another and so on. The way I made it before was by taking squares and sewing them to the large piece of fabric that would become the quilt. And the bibs are too cute. :) I really like the quilt!! It looks awesome!

I would think that you could just use more cotton or chenille if you wanted! They were really easy to sew. The hardest part is navigating around the curves and keeping the seam allowance narrow at the closure. Claire - It is sad that they will be covered in food and spit, but hey, I think these fabrics will hide it well (and wash well)! Jenn – I backed the bibs with terry cloth.

The quilt looks amazing - I'm glad you decided to take out the orangish color. I LOVE the blues and greens. Seriously...too cute! And the bibs too - I love those fabrics. Its gonna be a shame when they're covered in food and spit. Lol. Guess that's what washing is for. (: Wow. The quilt looks amazing – I’m glad you decided to take out the orangish color.

Yeah, the quilt isn't perfectly lined up everywhere, but it is my first time trying to make a quilt, so I'm trying not to be too hard on myself. I'm also realizing that having some quilters tools could be helpful in my precision. . . in reality, I'm not sure that quilting is for me. Baby quilts may be as far as I go! Thanks ladies!
