New Baby Quilts Kit

Just in this week, we have 2 new Baby Quilt Kits from Fabric Editons LLC to share with you. They're part of the Quick Quilts line of easy quilt kits. They're ideal quilt kits for beginners because they feature simple quilt patterns and complete instructions. They're also a fun weekend quilting project for experienced quilters to make a quick and cuddly quilt for baby.

These baby quilt kits include 8 coordinating 100% cotton fabrics, enough for the quilt top, backing, and binding. Baby will enjoy the textured chenille and soft flannel fabrics used in these quilts. You'll enjoy the simple designs and modern color choices. You'll find these baby quilt kits, along with our complete selection of easy quilt kits, in the Quilt Kits section of the store.

Quilting Resource

Quilting and binding can present many challenges to the beginner, and even experienced, quilter. I came across the Sew, Mama, Sew! Blog and found a recent post that includes a nice list of Quilting & Binding Resource Links to help answer your questions in both of these areas. There are links to articles that offer binding tips & tutorials and show the different ways to bind your quilt. There are also links to helpful articles on machine quilting basics. You'll want to keep this list bookmarked as a ready reference!
