The Ombre Infinite Hearts Baby Quilt

I have the cutest little ombre Infinite Hearts baby quilt to share with you today! Hearts + Ombre = one cute baby heart quilt.

I couldn’t resist sewing up a sample of my new Infinite Hearts quilt pattern using some VandCo Ombre fabrics. I had a feeling these heart blocks would look super cute in ombre.

The baby size Infinite Hearts quilt is the perfect quick and easy quilt pattern for a baby or toddler.

VandCo Ombre Fabrics

I used some extra pink VandCo Confetti Ombre I had on hand for this sweet little baby quilt. I believe I used both Popsicle Pink and Hot Pink mixed together. I had a couple of fat quarters of each color.

Ombre fabrics are so much fun to quilt with because the variances in the fabrics add so much depth to your quilts. For this baby quilt, I did place my fabrics dark to light for each block. So I did a little bit of preplanning to make sure each block could go dark to light in color. Although, I do think it would look just as good with totally random placement as well.

Ombre Infinite Hearts Baby Quilt

Infinite Hearts is the brand new 2021 Quilty Love heart quilt. I love doing a new heart quilt each January. There are two reasons for this. One, Valentine’s Day is coming up! And two, it’s always the perfect excuse to sew up your stash or scraps!

I always write these heart quilt patterns around scraps and your stash so most quilters will have fabrics in their stash to use for these heart quilts.

Stash friendly quilt pattern

The Infinite Hearts quilt pattern is a sweet heart quilt that is quick and easy to make. It’s scrap friendly, stash friendly, fat quarter friendly, fat eighth friendly, jelly roll friendly and quarter yard friendly. So basically you can use just about any fabric pre-cut for this heart quilt.

Infinite Hearts Quilt Pattern

Infinite Hearts starts with the cutest little baby (or toddler) size quilt. It also includes instructions for a small throw size (lap size), medium throw size, large throw size and twin size.

I’m always surprised by how quickly baby quilts go together when I make them..lol. I tend to make mostly large throws so these cute little baby quilts sew up so fast. I sewed up this Infinite Hearts baby quilt in about a day or two.

Binding and backing on this ombre baby heart quilt

I finished off this baby sized Infinite Hearts quilt with a Ruby Star Society grid in the color Strawberry. It complemented the VandCo ombre colors perfectly.

I used the same strawberry grid fabric for the binding. I tend to use the same fabric for backing and binding quite a bit. It’s the perfect way to use up that cut off fabric from the backing and I like the seamless modern look it gives.

Ruby Star Society Grid fabric as the background

I used a Ruby Star Society Grid fabric in the color cloud for this Infinite Hearts baby quilt. I actually used this same fabric for all of my Infinite Hearts samples. It’s the perfect neutral background.

Wavy Stitch Machine Quilting

I quilted this sweet little ombre baby heart quilt up myself on My Janome MC6700p using my favorite wavy stitch. I usually space my lines 3/4 inch apart but I decided to stop at 1 1/2 inch for this baby quilt.

The wavy stitch quilting is such a great versatile beginner friendly quilting option! You use your walking foot to quilt straight lines and the machine does the wave stitch as you go. Check your machine and see if it has a multi stitch wave design or I’ve heard it also called the Serpentine Stitch.

I always start my quilting on one edge of my quilt and quilt 1 1/2 inch spaced lines. Then I go back and fill in between each line at the 3/4 inch mark. So for this baby heart quilt, I decided to skip filling in my 3/4 inch lines because I like how it was a looser quilting and would make for a little drapier quilt.

I don’t have a wavy stitch tutorial yet but it’s the same process as the zig zag quilting that I blogged about here.

You can find the Infinite Hearts Cover quilt shown below on the blog here. That is a Medium throw size quilt using Kona Cotton Solids.

Coins baby quilt

Today I’m sharing this sweet little Coins baby quilt. I made this one up a while ago using my friend Anna’s beautiful Forage fabric line for Robert Kaufman.

Anna brought some of her Forage fabric to a retreat with friends and we all took home a small bundle. With just a little bit of each fabric, Coins was the perfect quilt pattern to use. Coins is super versatile and makes a great scrap quilt.

Forage is printed on Robert Kaufman linen so I also chose a blue grey linen as the background.

Coins is part of the Quilty Love Simple Series which means it’s a super easy beginner quilt pattern.

Coins also uses all of the precut sizes. Use fat quarters, fat eighths, layer cakes, charms or even a jelly roll for the fast and easy quilt.

This grey Coins is the baby size but the pattern also includes two lap sizes, a twin size and a queen size.

The quilting on this baby quilt is done on my sewing machine. This is the first time trying something different like this. It’s straight lines using the walking foot so super easy. Quilt two lines about 1/2 inch spaced diagonally with a few inches between each set. And then repeat on the other diagonal.

Coins is available in the Quilty Love pattern shop.

Quilty Trees Baby Quilt – The playful baby one

Quilty Trees is the newest quilt pattern in the Quilty Love shop. Today I’m sharing a baby Quilty Trees quilt.

Quilty Trees Quilt Pattern

The original Quilty Trees quilt is blogged here. The obvious choice for a tree quilt is using green fabrics. But I thought it would be super fun to see what this tree quilt looked like sewn up in these playful Ruby Star Society fabrics.

I’m lovingly referring to this one as the Dr. Seuss tree quilt. This is the baby sizes of the Quilty Trees pattern.

Ruby Star Society Fabrics

These fun and colorful fabrics are an assortment of Ruby Star Society. I had some leftover fat quarters from a previous project that I mixed together for a fun and whimsical tree quilt. I’m really loving these new fabric lines that the Ruby Star designers are coming up with.

Stash friendly quilt pattern

Quilty Trees is yet another quilt pattern in the stash/ scrap friendly Quilty Love line up. Each block uses a minimal amount of fabric making it the perfect stash quilt or scrap quilt.

Quilty Trees quilt sizes

The Quilty Trees quilt pattern includes instructions for a baby size, throw size, twin size and queen/king size. It has instructions for the blocks you see in this quilt and for a scrappier version.

My little miss crawled into my shot while I was photographing this quilt so I decided to put her to work as a quilt model ;). I absolutely adore how her tiny little fingers are playing with the quilt binding above.

Speaking of the binding… I used a wider black and white stripe to keep this quilt fun and modern. I added a little binding flair by using a scrap of orange fabric to join the binding strips.

This Quilty Trees baby quilt has a pieced backing. I rarely piece quilt backings like this. Mostly because I don’t enjoy piecing backings…ha, and I have a hard time keeping the backing lines straight when basting. But with this being a smaller size quilt I went for it. It was a good way to use up some of this fabric and it makes for a fun backing!

Wavy straight line quilting

I went with my favorite wavy line quilting for this Quilty Trees baby quilt. I needed to quilt it up quickly so this is my go to quilting stitch. It’s done exactly like the zig zag quilting tutorial found here but with the wavy stitch instead of the multi stitch zig zag.

You can find those scrap bins here. They are awesome for scraps! These are the larger size.

You can find Quilty Trees in the Quilty Love pattern shop.

Quilty Stars Quilt – The solid baby ones

The Quilty Stars quilt pattern includes a nice and easy baby size quilt. Quilty Stars is the brand new Quilty Love pattern available in the shop.

Use solids or prints

I used my leftover At Then Came June Kona bundles for two Quilty Stars baby quilts. I separated the colors out into two different versions. This baby size doesn’t need a lot of fabric so it was great for these leftover pieces.

Beginner friendly quilt pattern

Quilty Stars is a good beginner friendly quilt pattern. The measurements leave plenty of room for trimming up perfectly sized half square triangles. The trimmings of these two solid quilts were too pretty not to photograph 🙂

The original Quilty Stars Quilt is made up using prints from my scrap bins so I wanted to see how this quilt might look in solids. It turned out so fun in these range of colors. Each quilt sticks with two colorways to keep it a bit more cohesive.

All the quilt sizes

The Quilty Stars quilt pattern includes instructions for a baby size, throw size, twin size and king size. It also includes instructions for a solid background like these quilts or a super scrappy background.
