Hello!
"Spindrift"
Hooded Baby Wrap
Designed and Made by Scrapatches
42" square, rounded corners
Kona Solids cotton top
minkee backing and hood
stitched in the ditch
pieced machine binding
pieced and quilted on my home machine, Janome 6600p
aurifil thread for piecing and quilting
aurifil thread for piecing and quilting
The backing is white minkee for snuggly goodness.
I did not add batting and this wrap has a lovely drape.
I made a small minkee backed washcloth with an extra pinwheel block ...
... to complete the bath set!
I am thinking I will make some other baby goodies, like burp cloths and bibs
with some of the left-over pieces and fabrics.
Freddy Bear offered to model.
"Ducky" did, too!
This ceramic duck was a baby shower gift made by a friend for me over 30 years ago when I was expecting my first baby and I will soon be passing it down to my daughter.
The quilt top without the finishing border for the hood measures 40" square.
Spindrift Quilt Block
I started HERE with a jelly roll and charm pack in ...
and
My original sketch had a different block design.
This was when I had more of a "beach ball" design in mind.
Nice ... but ...
Nice ... but ...
... this is what happened when I played with the pieces and turned the corner HSTs!
Nicer!
Nicer!
I really liked the movement in this block pattern.
So a new quilt idea was born.
Here is a closeup of how the block creates a secondary design.
Nicest!
I am calling this quilt pattern "Spindrift"
and am planning to make it again in a larger size and different fabrics
and I have testers who have volunteered to help me turn this into a
whole quilt pattern.
More info coming soon!
I have turned this lovely Kona Solid quilt top into a very special project
for a very special baby-to-be!
My first grandbaby is due in May!
The Baby Parents have chosen to be surprised
so for now this baby is nicknamed "Sprout"
I am calling 2014, "The Year of the Baby."
I am a sew happy Grandma-To-Be!

Great project!!! Sprout will surely love it :) That name made me giggle, as my little one born last April was referred to as "Scooter." I may tuck "Sprout" away to use if the little one ever gets a sibbling :)
Very sweet!
This is adorable!
The perfect baby gift and the colors are so bright and happy.....love it!
How very cute! Love the hood idea! I can already see it being used as a great super hero blanket in the years to come. Beautiful pattern.
Yay! Congratulations on being a grandma! I think your grandbaby will just love this cuddly wrap, and will most likely use it as a cape after bath time, hahaha!
