Baby Quilts to India 🇮🇳

Back in June, the mission board my husband and I worked under in Japan asked if I could send some baby quilts for an upcoming mission trip to Cambodia. I sent 30 baby quilts. 

In October they requested baby quilts for an orphanage in India that they support and will be visiting at the end of this year. I had 27 baby quilts on hand and sent them all!

Today I have 5 more finished baby quilts to share!

My Quilt Info #1:

Size: 41" x 50"

Batting: Quilters Dream 100% Cotton 

Thread: Glide--Lemon Ice

Pantograph: Retro Sheets ⤵️ from Sew Shabby Pantos

I love these colors together--I want to call it pink lemonade! 

These yellow florals are all "vintage" 1990's prints from a charm swap I did way back then, and recently rediscovered.

I love striped bindings whenever possible. This striped binding is a Japanese print. ⤵️

Such happy flowers!!! This is a children's duvet cover from IKEA. ⤵️

My Quilt Info #2:

Size: 42" x 54"

Batting: Quilters Dream 100% Cotton Request

Thread: Glide--Linen

Pantograph: Abundance ⤵️ from Sew Shabby Pantos

Another I-Spy quilt, because you can't just make one--that would just leave a corner cut out of fabric! Rather, I cut a whole strip off the fabric and get between 3 and 6 squares, or more, if I cut off two strips.

This is a Tula Pink striped binding.⤵️

Another fun IKEA duvet cover backing--the solar system! ⤵️

My Quilt Info #3:

Size: 41" x 50"

Batting: Quilters Dream 100% Cotton Request

Thread: Glide--Linen

Pantograph: Sparkle and Spin ⤵️ from Totally Quilted

I try to use a variety of pantographs/quilting designs, despite having my favorites that I'd like to use again and again!

More striped binding. ⤴️⤵️

And here's that solar system duvet cover again. ⤵️ I can generally get 2 backings, plus a 3rd pieced backing out of a twin size duvet cover.

My Quilt Info #4:

Size: 41" x 50"

Batting: Quilters Dream 100% Cotton Request

Thread: Glide--Linen

Pantograph: Abundance ⤵️ from Sew Shabby Pantos

Blue is one of my favorite colors!

I love how this black and white print binding makes a scalloped edge look! ⤴️⤵️

A somewhat minimalist IKEA duvet cover! Just a few dots here and there.

My Quilt Info #5:

Size: 42" x 54"

Batting: Quilters Dream 100% Cotton Request

Thread: Glide--Linen

Pantograph: Baby Zoo Animals ⤵️ from Urban Elementz

Another I-Spy.

This striped binding is actually birch trees with the occasional cardinal sitting in the branches.

This "Baby Zoo Animals" pantograph includes giraffes, monkeys, tigers, and elephants. ⤵️ This is a pieced backing so there is a seam down the middle of the photo. The animals show up better on the back of this quilt. ⤵️

I'll post here when I get photos of the quilts in Cambodia and India. In the meantime, I plan to keep on making these baby quilts--simple squares, a fun variety of prints, unique backings and striped bindings whenever possible!

Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy
