Woodland Animal Baby Quilt, Fall Baby Shower Gift, Cotton Patchwork Crib Blanket
This woodland animal baby quilt is handmade with quality cotton and flannel fabrics. A great gender neutral baby gift for crib and toddler bed. Find foxes capering around the outside border with hedgehogs, turtles, squirrels, owls, mushrooms. Warm, rich brown gives a lattice affect to the other colors of teal blue, orange, light yellow, mint green. Soft flannel backing is a two tone beige/brown chevron zigzag print.
Another lovely feature of this crib sized quilt is the outer border, which features mitered corners. This gives a framing effect so that the borders continue all around the quilt, in unbroken lines.
Quilted by free motion with an all over meander, interspersed with hearts and stars.
Size is 40 x 52 inches (102 x 132 cm). Fabrics are preshrunk.
Features
Features
I always use quality fabrics and thread. In addition, I am conscientious about making sure I use a full seam allowance. I never leave fabrics holding together by a few threads. This ensures a quality, handmade item, that will withstand normal care and use for many years.
The inner batting layer is usually Pellon or Hobbs 80/20. Occasionally I use a bamboo batting.
Binding is always double thickness and attached by machine for added durability, with neat mitered corners.
The nice thing about quilts is that the more you use them the softer and more snuggly they become. Don’t be afraid to use them wherever you want to be. After all, we wear cotton fabrics everyday in our clothes… your quilt won’t fall apart before it gets well loved!
Care
Care
I have often washed my own quilts in with a regular wash load, with no regrets. However, it is still recommended to use a gentle cycle, mild soap and tumble drying on low heat. (** Note: I rarely prewash my fabrics. Expect a small amount of shrinkage on the first laundering.) It is the tumble drying that achieves the soft crinkly look that we associate with handmade quilts. If you prefer a flatter look, lay flat to air dry… do not dry in the dryer.
Remember that sunlight will fade any fabric, and your quilt is no exception. So; have a care when you leave it outside frequently or in a sunny window.

So grateful to Kim for the love and hard work she put into making our baby quilt and custom label. Her communication and attention to detail is top notch. Looking forward to seeing our newest addition grow to love his blanket, just like his older sisters and brothers adore theirs.
