Grace and Peace Quilting: Baby🧡Quilts + Extended Width Pantograph

One of my favorite parts of quilting is cutting up fabric! I just got my Famore 60mm rotary cutter from Linda's and I love it! That, plus the Stripology Ruler, makes cutting fabric fast and fun!!! I went through some of my scraps recently and cut them up. I'm using my favorite Villa Rosa Designs pattern--Honey Bouquet, and have downsized it here to baby quilt size.

Here are 3 that have orange in them, for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color of the month, orange!!!

Quilt Info #1:

Size:36" x 45"

Pattern: Honey Bouquet from Villa Rosa Designs

Batting: Quilters Dream--Supreme

Thread: Glide--Apricot Blush

Pantograph: Aztec ⤵️ from Mistletoe Quilting Co

This pantograph is "extended width"--if you have a digital longarm, you know. When I learned to use my longarm computer, I didn't get instructions on how to configure extended width pantos. I tried it on my own several times and my computer repeatedly crashed! Then I remembered this page on the Longarm League website--"What are Extended-Width Digital Quilting Designs and How Do I Use Them?" The complication is that each longarm system is configured differently! That article has a helpful link at the end for 6 different systems. I found mine there, Quilt Path, and I was thrilled that it worked like a charm!!!

This quilt is a combo of orange and blue scraps!

The backing fabric is from a twin-sized duvet cover from IKEA, called Kransmalva. I bought it on clearance for $17.99 and it's enough fabric to back 4 baby quilts, plus the pillowcase is big enough to back a table runner! ⤴️ For binding, I used the cut-offs from the backing--makes it simple!

Quilt Info #2:

Size: 36" x 45"

Pattern: Honey Bouquet from Villa Rosa Designs

Batting: Quilters Dream--80/20

Thread: Glide--Apricot Blush

Pantograph: Ripples Block on Point ⤵️ from My Creative Stitches

This version is a combo of orange and pink scraps! I found an orange and pink fabric in my collection for the binding, also.

More of that IKEA duvet cover on the back! It's very dramatic!!!⤵️

Love that hot air balloon print! And the Hello Kitty print from Japan!!!⤵️

Quilt Info #3:

Size: 36" x 45"

Pattern: Honey Bouquet from Villa Rosa Designs

Batting: Quilters Dream--100% Cotton

Thread: Glide--Apricot Blush

Pantograph: Arbor Ridge ⤵️ from My Creative Stitches

This version is a combo of orange and yellow scraps!

This grey solid backing is also from IKEA, sold as a 3.25 yard cut of fabric, 60" wide. The extra width is perfect to back a baby quilt--no piecing!!! I can get 2 1/2 backings for baby quilts out of each cut.
