The new Bosskut Designs just came out and it inspired me to
make a baby quilt for a little girl. I used the bottle and the rattle for most
of my blocks. I added a baby face
pattern I made up for one of the blocks. I made a second block that just said
Baby Girl. I thought these two blocks would add a little to the other designs.
I think that is why I love my Gazelle. I like to take what there is and then
add my own touch—just like most crafters do. The whole idea is just to have
fun!!! I love to have fun. Below are some
pictures of my new baby girl quilt. The quilt has been pieced but now needs to
be quilted.

Baby Bottle Block
The Rattle Block
Baby Girl Block
Baby Girl Face Block
The "Baby Face" block I machine appliqued like the rest of the blocks.
I hand embroidered the mouth, ears and eyes. The cheeks I did using a crayon
technique I learned years ago. I take an applique transfer mat and lay my iron
on it a few seconds. I then take my crayon and smear a little of the wax on the
hot spot on the mat. I take a small piece of cotton fabric and rub it in the
crayon. I then rub the color in the cheek area. Once I get it the consistency I
want it I heat set it with my iron. I like to think of it as shading and
highlighting on fabric. I think it adds a cute look.
I hope you liked this project and I hope it inspires you to get those scraps out and your Gazelle and start cutting.
