Polly's New Easy Applique Baby Quilt

Jennifer is so very kind to let me show you my quilts and this one's very, very special. I hope you have time to go take a look. After the latest QOV, I needed a quilt that didn't have 6-sided triangles and 5 corners. The teddy bear quilt is absolutely mindless. All you have to do is figure out what goes under what. After that - it's simply stitching. It was such a joy to make. Polly

You did it again, Polly! What a beautiful design!

Thank you so much. I hope you're watching the weather, EP. We have a storm coming in from the west and another from the south. Taking the Yorkie out for his final run was really exciting. Ever see a 99 pound old lady do lift off? Polly

"Edna Pearl" You did it again, Polly! What a beautiful design!

This is our kind of weather, Polly. The SO and I love the wind and rain, when there's no hazard involved. The wind is well and truly gusting right now. My main room in my house has open-raftered construction, so we can really hear it.

A perfect night for cross-stitch by the Christmas tree, with a Hercule Poirot murder mystery on the DVD player. My SO is whipping up a Boston cream pie from scratch. (And he wonders why I've gained so much weight since he moved in here!)

Oh.... that quilt just makes my heart smile. How absolutely precious! Thanks to both of you for sharing such a sweet, sweet quilt. Good- no GREAT!- job, Polly!

Polly you have been finishing projects daily. When do you find the time? Once again you have created a happy quilt which will bring joy to both baby and parent.

Didn't have to cook, Susan. DH is still enjoying the Thanksgiving Day wonderful leftovers. Tonight's turkey sandwiches ended my kitchen vacation except for a skinny sliver of pecan pie. Polly

Thanks so much for being a window on Polly's world for us, Jenn.

Polly that is such a lovely way to start my day. Smiles all around. Your babies receive great love into their new little lives. What really lovely little quilt. That duck(?) is gorgeous. . In message , Jennifer in Ottawa writes

Thanks Jennifer for posting that!

Polly, that is so cute. Is it zigzag stiched down? Is there a pattern available somewhere? I'm thinking that would make a good next quilt for my grand-niece ;)

Thanks, Jenn, for continuing to share Polly's pics with us.

Polly, that's absolutely adorable. Perfect for a little one - and it looks all ready to be loved!

Ginger, I used a machine blanket stitch with black thread; had to use a mighty short/skinny setting because some of the pieces such as the parts on the baby rattle are so small. However - the toys, fabrics and colors are all so busy that just any stitch at all would be fine. The magazine is Quilter's Newsletter Magazine's Quilt It for Kids 2005. Definitely worth a hunt for a back issue at the online quilt shops or your library; there are several precious patterns in it. Polly

Not quite ready for a baby, Louise. I'd used white fabric paint for the highlights on the eyes. The paint didn't do well in the wash. I don't like the look of the blank dead black eyes - kind of reminds me of what that guy said in Jaws about sharks' eyes. Anyhow, just little white French knots ought to make those eyes sparkle and we'll be done. Polly

Great job, Polly is right! What a fun fun quilt for anyone. I can just invision it being squeezed forever with love.

Easy is relative. It doesn't look easy to me! Can I see one that you think is hard? :-)

It is absolutely beautiful. It just makes me happy to look at it. Did you quilt it on a regular sewing machine? If so, can one quilt a baby quilt on

Thanks for sharing the pic.

Sherry

Your color choices are perfect, Polly!

That's going to be some lucky baby.

Cindy

Sure you can Sherry. There are 3 Singers here older than I am and all of them love to quilt baby quilts. You need to know the trick to dropping the feed dogs on those grand old Singers. With mine, you have to tilt the head back and ... to tell you the truth, I've forgotten how it's done but I'm sure most of the old ones can do it. Polly
