The main idea behind this quilt came about, as we had a few ‘impending’ births in the wider family, and I wanted a ‘generic’ Quilt design that I could make in advance, and then add the personalisation once I knew the Baby names.

I thought I would make the complete Quilt – binding and all, then once I knew the Baby name, I would add the name to the blanket portion of the Large Baby Applique, and then stitch the Large Baby Applique to the Quilt and have a baby gift ready within hours!!

I also liked the idea that you could make many Quilt Layouts from these designs.

This Quilt set includes four main elements that you can put together in your own way to make your own unique Baby Quilt, together with simple Instructions showing how I made my Quilt

1. Sweet Dreams Little One wording
2. Large Applique Baby
3. Large Teddy in the Moon
4. Background Star and Moon Quilting

The Large Applique Baby and Large Teddy in the Moon designs are not just for Quilting - like all our Large Applique Designs, you make them as stand-alone 3D items.  The Large Baby applique would be perfect double sided for a Gender Reveal, or add your own wording for a beautiful personalised Baby Announcement

	Each word set is made in two 5x7 hooping’s, stitched together to make a block which includes the background star and moon quilting and the border around both blocks

I loved the idea of the Large Baby design for a Gender reveal - the video below shows how you can make this design completely reversable with pink fabric one side and blue fabric the other.  If you want to make the design for a quilt, you simply skip the backing fabric instructions
