Baby Quilting Patterns
Easy Baby Quilts & Quilting Tips
Archive for August, 2009
i have quilted for years,,but never tried miniature and cannot find a template for a dresden plate in mini,so i just wondered if someone had made one in the past,and if so did you enjoy it? and any tips would be appreciated..thanks
I love miniatures. I haven’t done the Dresden Plate but I did do the log cabin. I used 3/4" strips so each strip was acutally 1/4" once sewn. My finished quilt had 36 blocks plus border. I was so delighted with my miniture quilt. I found out after that it would have been easier if I had paper pieced the tiny quilt.
Now for the Dresden Plate. For current trends in miniature quilts you might consider trying a magazine called "Miniature Quilts". Subscription address: Miniature Quilts, PO Box 10630, Riverton, NJ 08076-0630.
No Big Deal; Mastering the Art of Miniature Quiltmaking by Deborah L. White has a pattern for a dresden plate quilt. This book was publishe dby That Patchwork Place in 1997. To make your search easier the ISBN # is: 1-56477-183-0.
Both of the above noted sources also include tips on how to make your work on a miniature easier and less stressful.
Good luck with your search. Have fun with your miniature.
read comments (1)Baby quilt. Can I have your opinion about these colors?

I am making a baby quilt with "cowboy colors".
Deep brown
Canberry
Rich gold
Medium hunter green
These fabrics make up a four patch and have slightly different patterns but all of them have a Swede look. (100% cotton)
They will be off-set with a medium light swede looking green. (This gives it a very "cheery" up-beat look)
I think it looks very sharp, but my daughter thinks it looks too "old" for a baby.
Do you think I should make one with common little boy colors instead? Just needing some opinions. I know its hard without actually looking at it, but ………tell me what you think.
OH, it is for a baby boy.
I want to thank EVERYBODY for you input.
I will continue on the path that I begain.
I may use a cowboy print on the boarder and for the back of the quilt as well!!!
It sounds like you have a great eye for colors which work well together.
Who is the quilt for? Your daughter’s son, or someone else? Although the primary concern should be whether the child will like it, in reality mothers often decide how children’s rooms will be accessorized, and what will be packed away. I can imagine many mothers would be delighted to have something a little different for their child, particularly if they were into a western theme. There would also be mothers who wouldn’t care for it.
As for the baby himself, although children have a reputation for being attracted to bright colors, they also get attachments to a variety of things that don’t fit into a preconceived mold. I can imagine a little boy being very grateful, as he grew older, that his "lovey" didn’t have "baby colors", so it wasn’t something he had to hide away and be embarrassed about when friends came over.
Finally, there are the intangible qualities you’re putting in to it – love and time. No matter which color scheme you use, those qualities will come shining through, and those are the most wonderful gifts of all.
