As I have mentioned before, smaller/baby quilts are a great medium for experimenting with new techniques and mastering skills. Here is a small sample of the 70+ baby quilts that I have made.
Popsicles uses dimensional pieceing. Not a technique that I care to use again but effective enough here:
Heartened was an experiment using Barbara Bilyard‘s “Keep it So Simple” S-bends technique:
Copacabana Beauty was my first foray into foundation piecing – another technique that I am not overly enamoured with but I did get some great points on my New York Beauty blocks:
And baby quilts don’t have to use traditional blocks or designs. I love the quilt that Robin made following her recent workshop with Nancy Crow – a new baby classic.

Your baby quilts are cheerful and any baby would be proud to be wrapped in them. I particularly love the “Copacabana” one! (I also love the song!)

Rosy, after we bought this house, it took weeks to get that song out of my head. Barry Manilow has a lot to answer for…
Shelina says
I haven’t done dimensional quilting or paper piecing yet. Both of yours look great, and eventually I will have those tools under my belt too.
When I was basting my quilt, one of the ladies there had made a beautiful dimensional quilt that she is planning on teaching this fall.
