Chevron Baby Quilt! Extra Thick for Baby to Play On!

Recently a very good friend of mine had her first baby. A baby GIRL! Baby Abbie!! I love her to death already. I could spend all day looking at her beautiful face and watching her sleep. So I got to working on a super cute Chevron baby quilt for her to enjoy!

The sex of the baby was unknown until the birth, which drove me crazy because I wanted to start making so many cute baby things, especially cute girly things. Instead I struggled to think of a gender neutral color scheme that would work for a very special quilt. And …

This makes the quilt a little heavy to use as a blanket right now, but it will work in the winter as she grows up. (I have linked the kind of quilt batting that I used at the bottom of this post) ?.

Chevron Baby Quilt! - ready for giftingI bound the quilt with white tree fabric. This was the first time I made my own binding. It is so easy (check out my binding tutorial here)! Now my binding world has opened up to any print or any color that I can find.

I had a lot of fun picking all the cute fabrics for this quilt, and I look forward to making more baby quilts in the future. Maybe for my own babies? One day… Until then I love holding and loving baby Abbie!

I hope this post inspires you to create you own Chevron quilt for the new babies in your life! Have fun creating!
