Work's In Progress #11

***Hi! If you're looking for the Sew, Mama, Sew giveaway it's right here!***

Hey there WIP crew! I took a week off to make some progress and now I feel super accomplished because I have a bunch of UFO's finished up and new projects to tell you about.

I've been whining about these baby lovelies not getting done for months. Well guess what, they are done and I love how they all turned out. 

These are my crinkle quilts, they crinkle when you grab them. Great for car seats, strollers, tummy time, play time and a diaper change. 
I used each quilt to try a different quilting technique. Continuous straight line quilting is where it's at for me. It's so versatile. I did a 1/4" seam, diamond pattern, lengthened embroidery stitch, a spider web, stars, maze and some boxed-in. What a practice session!

These started from fat-quarters and fabric from my stash and the idea of making baby lovelies to sell in a children's store near me. One day while in the store drooling over the local handmade goods I got to talking with the owner who said she'd look at my things. This was months ago, but I got them done and now it's moment of truth time where I go to the shop with my 'crinkle quilts' and see if she's interested.
And now I just told you so I have to!

My Grandma-in-Law has requested a quilt and I am so happy to make one for her. All she specified is blue and white -- and we okay'd the pink floral, it just yells Gramma! It's going to be an Irish Chain Nine-patch with a ring of Sawtooth stars.

And I finished the Ribbon Rainbow if you hadn't seen it yet but you probably did because I posted it all over the place ;)

Those baby quilts are so cute! How fun that you quilted each one a different way. I've seen the Ribbon Rainbow before but I am always happy to see that one again! : ) Thanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday!

What makes them crinkle?

I love the tiny quilts! And what a coincidence, I'm making a quilt for mother outlaw featuring rose floral fabric, with blue in the center and corners! And I'm going to ask too: what makes them wrinkle and was it hard to quilt thru it?
