Cindy's baby quilt re-do


Cindy had a special baby quilt project. She wanted to re-do her child's old baby blanket for her new grandchild. 


The baby blanket was well loved and the soft fuzzy weave was wearing thin in places. She wanted me to quilt it onto a minky backing, but wasn't sure what to do about batting. The quilt would have plenty of weight to it, so maybe no batting at all? But, then there were spots where the top was worn thin and could be seen through. So we decided to use a light gray flannel as batting so there was something behind it, but didn't add much thickness to it.


I quilted some paisleys and bubbles on it to keep it gender neutral. She trimmed off the worn silky binding and put on new.


The back. This little baby quilt is ready for another generation of snuggles! Thanks Cindy!
