Easy Baby Quilt With Appliqué

Hey there! Gabriela here with another quilt project. This time I decided to do a modern quilt with a little appliqué. I am making two of these quilts so I cut all of my fabric at once. 

 

The white is my background and the fairies will be my center. 

Next I laid out my blocks to get a feel for how much space I would have for the appliqué.  

 

A little rough. 

Then I pressed and sewed the blocks together. 

 

All squared up!  36" x 36"

I did the appliqué by drawing my letters on my Cricut Explore.

 

 

I did this in Design Space. 

Then I fussy cut the letters and heart. 

 

A little curled up. 

I applied Heat n' Bond to the backs and pressed them. 

 

Crispy and fresh! 

Next I fused them to the quilt top and stitched around the edges. 

 

Then I attached the back and the batting!

 

Now the quilting! 

Trying out free motion. 

Then the binding and it's done. 

 

I'll be making another quilt like this and then making a Queen size quilt after that. I hope the directions were clear, happy crafting!
