Kelly Wayman: Earlier this year I was met with the challenge of a gender neutral gray and orange fox quilt for a very special babe. Using Fig Tree & Co.’s Francesca Fox pattern, I came up with this variation using Thatched by Moda for my foxes and Kona solids for the background and sashing.

Jean Ping: More than twenty years ago, when I had my first baby, a dear friend gave me this blanket with a crocheted edge. That friend passed away about ten years ago, before her youngest son had children of his own. I had kept the blanket all along, and recently was able to pass it on to his young family. His children had never received anything their grandmother had made. I was so happy that I could give them something with such an important connection.
Cindy Selby: My nephew and his wife are expecting their first baby in February and are doing a "Happy Caterpillar" themed nursery. I found a happy caterpillar panel and used my Solaris IQ designer to outline the caterpillar parts. I also quilted the "post-it" blocks using four different embroidery designs: a ladybug, clouds and stars, bees, and butterflies.
Nichole King: This quilt was made for a friend of mine who was having her 2nd grand baby (first granddaughter). She picked out the fabrics at Honey Run. I love using appliqué for baby quilts. I used my sewing machine and used the blanket stitch to appliqué these fun pieces.
Terrie Johnson: What’s better than reading a book in a cozy spot with a cozy quilt and your favorite stuffed animal? This is my great niece enjoying her morning.
