scrappy rail baby quilt

I got this quilt finished up last night, and I am very happy with it.
I've mentioned that I really like anything American Jane, but I am so crazy about these doll clothes, cute!
I ended up piecing the back of this quilt, I am really trying to NOT buy fabric--I want to use what I've got--No, I must use what I've got.

and all 4 baby quilts stacked (my favorite) together.

    I'm a full time cross stitcher, part time quilter and I must say these baby quilts are so adorable. You quilters just inspire me to want to quilt more often.

    So cute!! The back really matches good. DO you quilt on your own regular machine? You do a great job. I want to learn how to do it on my machine to save myself a little $ and maybe eventually make a little on the side too. Super cute quilts! Jenn

    I think the scrappy rail is my favorite out of the stack.

    Although having a favorite might suggest I also have a least favorite...and that's just not possible with the work you do.

    Your quilts look great...I have one question for you though...when you have a different coloured back from the front do you use two different coloured threads when quilting? Thanks!

    Hi! What are you using for your batting? I am making my first quilt right now, and am finding my batting (a bamboo mix) is just too thick. It'll be nice for a winter layer but for summer I'd really like something thinner.

    Your blog is eye candy and inspiration galore! Great projects.
