Sweet Home-Made Baby Gifts {Cherished Moments}

Hello Friends!  I hope you are doing well! 

I was so happy to be asked to join other amazing Makers for this blog tour showcasing this beautiful new line of fabric by Poppie Cotton called Cherished Moments.  

I so enjoyed sewing with this fabric.   Read ahead to see what I made!

When I first put my hands on this fabric, I knew immediately it would be precious for a baby girl!  Luckily I have a young friend that is expecting a baby girl! 

I wanted to be able to use all the pinks and greens in this line and I knew that patchwork would probably showcase it the best.   I remembered a sweet baby quilt pattern by Amy at Diary Of A Quilter called Lattice Baby Quilt.  She has a great tutorial for the quilt here.  

There is nothing I love better in a quilt than simple patchwork.   And this pattern is so easy.  

And the fact that this is laid out on the diagonal really gives it great interest.  I love how it came out! 

I chose to do some very simple straight line machine quilting and it came out great.  It was fast and simple.  

I'm so happy with how the little quilt  came out.  

I also decided to use up the rest of the scraps and make a Divided Basket to hold diapers, wet wipes and other necessary supplies that a mommy might want to keep handy in other rooms of the house instead of the baby room.  

I think it is always nice to have a little diaper supply caddy in the living room!  And this Divided Basket pattern by Noodlehead was absolutely perfect for this.  

I really enjoyed doing some "quilt as you go" of my scraps for the front pocket of the basket.  It was a fun way to use up scraps.  

For the back of the basket I just pieced simple patchwork squares.  

I think this quilt and basket make the best baby gift and I'm super excited to gift it to my friend.  

I loved sewing with Cherished Memories fabric.  Once again I feel that the gals at Poppie Cotton have designed such amazing fabric and I'm so honored to be asked to sew with it.
