Minky Baby Quilts

Awhile ago, last summer, I decided I wanted to make a Minky quilt from scraps.  

I asked my friend if she would let me take from her scraps and combined with my own.  

I designed a little quilt and cut out LOADS of Minky.  

I cut out 3 of these quilts!  

I kept 2 and I gave one to my friend who gave me her scrap Minky to play with.  

I thought that a fuzzy front would be so fun AND decided to use a satin for the back!!!  

Talk about sensory overload! 

My niece was expecting at the beginning of June so this one was for her new baby.  

They knew they were having a girl.  

Of the 3 quilts I cut out 1 was def girly and the other 2 were more unisex.

I thought it was so cute.  Not that much to look at but I love it.  

This was before it was quilted.  

 I had my friend that has a long arm do the quilting.

I was going to try to fold the back around for the binding but the quilting went off the edge.

That made it really difficult so I opted to just machine bind it and 

used a wavy stitch to hold the binding in place.

You can see the whole top all quilted up in his photo.

I wanted a special label so decided to embroider a Caticorn.

I used a fusible I could sew to the front, and sewed all the way around.  

I cut an X in the web and turned it right side to, then pressed it to the quilt back. 

I decided to blanket stitch all the way around to secure it to the back. 

 I LOVE how this came out too!!!

Simply purrrrfect!  I think little miss Zoey seems to like it too.
