Sweetest fabrics, reminiscent of the 1930's sugar and flour sack covers. Cute little prints of animals, children, dots, elephants, flowers, kitties in cups...
Jack & Jill,
and Toys!
You may recall the quilt I made for my first grandchild earlier this year, all pink and soft mint for a baby girl HERE. This version with the Storytime 30's prints are just right for the new baby boy! Come to think of it, this one could be for a little girl, too, maybe with diferent quilting and a kitty motif. 😸
The quilt is designed with two simple blocks, the Sawtooth Star and a modified Churn Dash to give the quilt that nestled design.
I took clues from the Toys print for the applique' and the quilting elements; little bouncy balls in the background (ok, they're pebbles), and a few computerized beach balls in the border, with straight line quilting throughout to make it a bit more boy-ish.
Then when I saw Lori Holt's Chunky Thread, well, it matched these prints perfectly! It's a soft cotton yarn, so, of course I had to make some matching toys for the new baby!

I've made dozens of these cute little Tiny Teddies for the past 35 years. I have no idea where the pattern originated. If you'd like a copy, click HERE.
