Secret Sewing Revealed – Sew Fun Quilt and Plushie

I’ve been pattern-testing again.  Remember this fabric?    Here it is turned into a baby quilt:

And here is my very first pieced back (I wish I could say I planned it that way, but it has more to do with the mental fog I experienced at the fabric store when I forgot to buy packing fabric….why is it that you can have yards and yards of fabric but nothing that matches the particular project you are working on in the length you need?  In the end I’m kind of glad because I really like the way this looks – and that orange fabric – that’s some of Gran’s fabric, so it fits in well with the current project.)

The pattern is called the Baby S’Mores quilt (can’t you see the graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallow?) and I love all the different fabrics and textures in it.  Like all the Sew Fun patterns the instructions were super-easy to follow and the quilt was really fun to make.  I need to work a little on my machine-quilting skills (or maybe I just need to baste it better before I start?), but other than that I am in love with this quilt and I think I’m going to have a hard time parting with this one…

The pattern also includes instructions for this really cute plushie:

It’s kind of a soft blankie and cute marshmallow guy all in one.  Here he is showing us another pose:

Don’t you just want to pick him up and give him a cuddle?

    Looks awesome! I love the idea of a pieced back… I think I am going to do the same thing. Did she say this was okay to release… I must have missed that. I’ll have to get mine ready for show and tell too!
