    Happy Critters Baby Quilt

    Baby quilt with squares of dragonfly, ladybug, butterfly, bee, and frog.
    Baby Quilt by MNQuilter

    From MNQuilter: Upon learning that my husband and I were to become first-time grandparents, I started searching for fun baby quilt patterns. Because our son and daughter-in-law did not plan to find out whether they were having a boy or a girl in advance of the baby's birth, I had to find something that worked for either gender. I discovered a darling quilt made of appliqued "critters" with embroidered facial features and other cute embroidered details.

    Our daughter-in-law was planning to decorate their nursery in non-traditional colors, not the standard baby pastels. So I decided to go with fun bright colors, and patterns. With a white background in the appliqued squares, the "critters" really stand out. I had not done prairie points before, but loved the look and decided to add them to the bound edge.

    The pattern for this baby quilt is from the book "Tadpole Quilts for Baby" by Tammy Tadd.

    Four Bears Baby Quilt

    From Jackie: Originally the design called for two girls and two boy bears, and I changed it to suit my taste. Instead of all the appliqué called for in the quilt, I opted to use a Sharpie marker to make the embellishments. The ears are fun because they are 3-D something you wouldn't normally find in a traditional quilt.

    From Peg: This is a signature quilt for a baby shower and a very easy pattern for beginners. I used a flannel material on the back and put loops on the quilt so you can hang it instead of using it in a crib. I quilted in the ditch then quilted radiating hearts all around the four white edges.

    From Momofll: I saved the leftover and scrap fabrics from my daughter's wedding dress. It was made from a crepe-backed satin and used them to make this baptism quilt for her when her first son was born. It is all satin with the crepe side turned to the front for contrast. The fabric raveled terribly so I used a simple design and serged the seams.

    Dee in Tex: I had just bought Carol Doak's "50 Fabulous Paper-Pieced Stars" and wanted to try it out a baby quilt for a friend's first child. This was the result. The mother has since told me her son uses it at daycare as his favorite quilt, and she can always find him with it at nap time because it's so bright.
