Sizzix Quilt Blog Hop – Easy Baby Quilt

in DIY Projects, Quilting on 19/01/15

Today is my turn on the Sizzix Quilt Blog Hop.

Sizzix Quilt HST Wall Main

A bunch of us got together and decided to make great quilted projects to show you what the Sizzix Big Shot and Fabi machines can do.

I knew I wanted to make a simple baby blanket and utilize the half square triangles cutting die. I have been sewing for more than 15 years and quilting for about 5 years, but I don’t consider myself a “quilter”.  As soon as I took the Fabi machine for it’s first spin, I had a feeling I would be quilting more often.

During the Christmas holidays we visited my family in Alberta, Canada. As we drove along the mountain range, I found the inspiration for my quilt – baby blue skies, royal blue mountains, slate grey fence posts and yellow dotted fields.

Here is what you need to get started:

Materials:

  1. Fabric – 6 solid colors for the front, 1 pattern for the binding and back
  2. Sizzix Fabi or Big Shot
  3. Half Square Triangles Cutting Die
  4. Batting
  5. Sewing supplies
  6. Sewing machine
  7. Iron and ironing board

I used the Half Square Triangles cutting die. I am addicted to triangles and love the versatility of a HST.  It was so easy. All I had to to was cut a few fabric rectangles, insert the layers through my Fabi and I was on my way!

As I played around with the layout the perfect pattern came about to suit my mountain theme.

    You sure did inspire me to do a baby quilt. Your colors (and how you picked the mountains as your inspiration) is amazing.

My 5yr old loves to snoop and to go through my stuff. He especially loves my block printing supples, recently found my stash of stamps and lined them up.  When I saw my handiwork from over the years, I thought it would make a fun picture.
