Title: Baby Quilt
Post by: landofoz on Jul 07, 2009, 05:17:49 PM
I'm making a baby quilt for my sister based off of this quilt:
(https://www.southernspirithunters.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi59.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fg294%2FLandOfOz%2FRobQuiltOnline.jpg&hash=7ec89587c18989c5a138bc11ba0a3ed0315bbe91)

I made up a mock quilt in word to get all my dimensions correct, these aren't the actual images I'll be appliqueing onto the quilt.  I just needed a picture to get my mind wrapped around the animal placement.  So my question is, do you like the addition of the zebra square or would it be best left off?  :SmileyQmarks:  Does it squish that line on the quilt too much?

That is going to be a beautiful quilt. I like the zebra.

That is going to look fantastic when you get it finished. I can't wait to see it! :ThumbUp:

I like the zebra, also... :grinnnn:

That is going to be awesome.  I like either one.

I understand the 'squished' worry. It will really depend on the actual pictures used in the end though. I love the whole thing.

Thanks for the help.  I was liking the zebra also but wasn't sure.  I've been hunting through free online coloring pages for images - hopefully I"ll have them all today and can get something more accurate laid out...

I like the zebra square.  If it does end up too squishy can you leave off the flamingo, since it really doesn't go with the theme, and move things around to keep the zebra?

Sheri, that is pretty much exactly what I did!  I was going over this last night and wound up removing the toucan thing and putting the zebra in with a larger slot.  The boxes were just too small to accommodate 3 animals on that row.  I have all my animals ready to go except the alligator/crocodile.  I'm still looking for a good shape...

how's it coming.
Title: Re: Baby Quilt
Post by: landofoz on Jul 12, 2009, 10:36:41 PM
Not as quickly as I'd like, that's for sure!  I have finally got all my animals and their babies.  I've printed them and am transferring and cutting them out of freezer paper.  I've got some of my fabrics picked out but I can't decide if I want to buy some zebra and giraffe prints or if I want to just get the correct base color (white and tan) and then embroider/applique on the stripes or spots.  I keep adding this or that, and I'm afriad that I'm making this a much more difficult project than anticipated!

I hope so.  In the meantime, it's going to be very time consuming.  And I just got a call the other day that my SIL in pregnant!  I need to get a move on with this quilt, so I can make SIL one before her baby comes.

Post by: landofoz on Jul 13, 2009, 10:41:59 AM
I have my freezer paper sitting out, so I can cut it when I'm watching TV or just doing nothing, and I over heard my children arguing over something.  "It's a mouse!" "no it's not a mouse!  It's a RAT!"  "No, it's a mouse!" "RAT" "Mouse!"  and finally I hear, "Mom, is this a mouse or a rat?" and I look over to see what they are arguing over.  It's the only item on the freezer paper that I hand-drew and it is a flower.  A flower.  :razberry: I can't even draw a flower!!   : :Blush: ::) :rofl1:

Title: Re: Baby Quilt
Post by: landofoz on Jul 25, 2009, 10:01:25 PM
Here is what I've been up too today.  Nothing is sewn on yet and a lot of the animals will require embroidery, like the flamingo legs and beaks, panda bear eyes, etc.  The panda bears and flamingos are both done in fleece, so there is a bit of texture on the quilt.

Title: Re: Baby Quilt
Post by: bestofour on Jul 25, 2009, 11:06:41 PM
when is the baby due?
Title: Re: Baby Quilt
Post by: landofoz on Jul 26, 2009, 12:47:13 AM
Right now the Dr. issued due date is December 25th but she's getting a sonogram in August to get a better date -- she doesn't know the day of her last period and can barely narrow it down to the month.  Realistically, should be sometime in December, give or take a week.    :laughmao:

I have the pandas done and they are adorable.  I'm threading up and getting ready to do the turtles or the alligators, I can't decide which.  

This is still a neutral boy/girl quilt right??  When we find out the sex I'll put on the appropriate colored border...  But for now, it's neutral, right??

*edit* I did both the turtles and the alligators plus the Momma Elephant.  The other animals will have to wait until I have the coordinating color thread to go around them. This is whipping up pretty quickly! :happy:

Here is what I've gotten done thus far.  I went out and bought some matching embroidery floss and a small hoop and an even smaller hoop so that i can get started on the detail work.  I'm thinking about putting on some birds sitting on the animals backs or up in the air so that the alligators are snapping at them.  I haven't decided yet.  Opinions?   :unsure:

Post by: Tina on Jul 28, 2009, 05:45:58 PM
You have a wonderful mother/ baby theme going. I think that as a mother I'd prefer the gater's laughing to snapping. But birds are cool. A lot of animals have symbiotic relationship with bird's. So you often see them basking with birds checking them over for critters. If you are looking to add detail there are always flowers, grass or reeds and cattails for the appropriate animals.

That is looking so awesome Sarah.  Very gender neutral, it will be the border that makes it a girl or boy quilt!

Post by: bestofour on Jul 28, 2009, 08:08:37 PM
I like the idea of the birds on the animals backs.  Just don't do any flowers.  I've heard you're not too good at those.

I like the idea of the birds on the backs of other animals. Not so sure about having the gators snapping at them... lol.  This is going to look fabulous when done.

Here are pics of the embroidered animals.  I've decided to leave the elephant and the giraffe un-embellished.  I think the simplicity of their design emphasizes the mother-baby bond and that embellishing would distract from that.  I'm not sure about the birds now.  I think they'd be adorable but Adam says that they would add a "cartoonish" feeling to the quilt.  <ahem> and a purple polka dot hippo doesn't??

Title: Re: Baby Quilt
Post by: landofoz on Sep 23, 2009, 03:43:53 PM
Walmart has the best prices for stuff like rotary cutting supplies, like the mats, rulers, and cutter itself.  I love rotary cutting--it is the fastest, easiest and most accurate way to cut stuff.  I get a lot of my fabric from Hobby Lobby and some from JoAnne's.  Look for JoAnne's flyers in the store, as they usually have a 50% off coupon in them.  Check online for Hobby Lobby, they often have a 40% off coupon in them.
Title: Re: Baby Quilt
Post by: bestofour on Sep 23, 2009, 05:46:47 PM
I  need a coupon because the stuff at Walmart to make a quilt is $11.44 per yard.

Title: Re: Baby Quilt

I'm not sure since I don't know what I'm doing.  It sort of looked like cotton.
Title: Re: Baby Quilt
Post by: landofoz on Sep 26, 2009, 12:47:27 PM
You were probably looking at a natural cotton batting.  I like it a lot more than the "lofty" polyester stuff.  Unless you plan on quilting it, though, the cotton has a tendency of separating and becoming clumpy.  You can buy packages of it pre-cut to bedding sizes for fairly cheap, then just fold or trim it to the size you need.

I do need to get this going soon.  I've spent the last 2 hours working on chores so I'll have time to start cutting the strips tomorrow.  The baby shower that I'm planning was going to be on Oct 24th but with our closing date on the house listed as Oct 23rd, I won't be able to swing the original date.  However, the closing date may get pushed to a later date, so for the moment we are sitting in limbo waiting to see if our offer is accepted, and if so, if the closing date needs adjusting.  Once we know that, then I can start on the baby shower...

Yes, I am throwing the shower, with help from my sister's Mother In Law.  I threw Robynn's first baby shower -- and volunteered to do this one.  Baby showers aren't all that difficult.  Just feed the women and their pretty much happy on their own.  The big activity is going to have fabric markers, fabric paint, stencils, and lots of onsies.  This way Robynn's friends and family can make a customized onsie for Robynn.  I see "Poop Machine" in her future...

Explain the idea to me por favor.  You give everyone a onesie and they paint it or color it somehow?  I've been involved in all my nieces wedding showers so I'm sure baby is next.

Okay, Sherri, you come to my super awesome baby shower.  You have some wonderful snacks and are wondering, "Wow, Sarah is so awesome, nothing could make this day more fun!" and at the moment BAM! I motion everyone over to the kitchen table.  On the table are clean stacks of onesies, a bunch of stencils, fabric markers, and some fabric paint.  Everyone gets a onesie and then can choose a clever stencil (like "poop machine") or can use the fabric markers to decorate an adorable onesie.  At the end of the shower, the mother-to-be gets a bunch of customized onesies made by you and the rest of her friends!  Then everyone claps and cheers for me and my wonderful idea and then I'm carried off on their shoulders into the sunset...  :BigGrin:

Well, you guys successfully lit a fire under my butt.  I have the quilt top assembled.  I basted the layers together tonight and will start quilting it sometime in the very near future.  Like tomorrow.  I have yet to find the camera, but rest assured, it is not the ugliest thing I've created.

Here is Dexter on the blanket.  He is always, always, always up on it -- and he isn't allowed on the table!!

Dexter isn't actually on the table.

 :SlapSelf: :rofl1: :rofl1:  You are right!

My biggest problem is that he likes to jump up onto the quilt while I'm quilting it.  He'll get up there, paw at the machine -- the needle specifically, until I stop sewing then he turns on his turbo-charged purr and lays down.  It's like he thinks his purring makes it okay for him to sleep there...  (okay, so it kinda does)

That turned out beautiful, Sarah! You did a great job.  I do hope your sister appreciates how much effort you put into your relationship.

Tina, I highly doubt that anyone knows how much effort I put into anything I do, excepting you guys here.  I get everything done and I always try my best, which leads people to think that it all comes easy for me.  I'm supposed to make her a custom diaper bag but I think that is going to wait until we move.  Not enough time for it right now.
