I have a baby nephew on the way very soon so I need to get on and make a baby quilt. I saw glimpses of Timber and Leaf by Sara Watts a few months back and knew I had to have it. I ordered a selection from Eternal Maker and some 'Seaside' October Afternoon by Riley Blake which goes with it perfectly.
Beautiful colours and prints
Seaside October Afternoon is on the left, Timber and Leaf on the right.
Here is my plan, based on a bear paw quilt block, very simple and easy- Baby Bear Quilt. The fabrics are doing the work in this quilt so I wanted plenty of space for the picture designs. The large 12" squares will be alternating Fawn in birch grey/ bear brush beat in taupe prints- I have a half yard of each. I am using a selection of FQs for the half square triangles, the plaid for the binding- that may change, and a mix of the yellows for the crisscrossing centre strip and some quilting plans for those strips too.
I'll be posting all the details online as I make it. I have a heavy workload at the moment so I can't guarantee exactly when but this needs to get made in the next month so that gives me a push to get going! I will be including cutting details for using a Sizzix Big Shot as well as standard half square triangles. I had this sent to me before Christmas for a project and you can see from the cutting pads, it has been in constant use. The half square triangle dies are a joy to use and I went and bought a 2.5" square die immediately for sorting scraps.
Here are the other posts so you can cut, sew, quilt and bind your Baby Bear Paw Quilt.
