Welcome to D T Quilts!

This blog will chronicle my quilting experiences. I have been sewing since my grandmother taught me to as a child. I loved it even then. I began quilting in 2004 to make a quilt of my daughter's school uniforms. Check out the Lauren's Sacred Heart Quilt page. I fell in love with quilting and have not stopped since. I belong to several great quilt guilds. Happy Quilting!

Quick Baby Quilt

I needed a quick baby quilt for my niece's baby shower next Saturday.  She's having a baby girl and is so excited.  I found a pattern in a McCall's Modern quilting publication.  You sew 3 1/2" strips to the batting and backing together diagonally.  Here is the result!
I used scraps and cut 3 1/2" strips off of fabric in my stash.  When I look at the sample in the publication it has all different width strips.  However, probably for the ease of directions, they went with 3 1/2" strips.  It was so easy.  Within a few hours I had a finished quilt- except to sew the binding.

    Looks like a FUN way to use those 1600 Race jelly roll strips too. I like them on the diagnol. Congrats on the new baby in the family!
