I am fairly new to machine enbroidery and this baby quilt is my first big project. I made it for my first greatgrandchild, a boy, due this spring. Yesterday I learned that a second greatgrandchild that is on the way this summer will be a girl. So my sewing machine will be humming. For this one I used the Baby Alphabet from designs by Cuties. The next one will be the Ragdoll Alphabet, also from here.

Glad I could help ~ I clicked on the picture to get a bigger look at the designs it is great. I wish I knew how to make one of these rag quilts I think it is over my abilities.

Rag quilts are very easy to make. Google rag quilt and you will find lots of info on how to make one. I added an extra layer of fabric to the back of mine so that the back side of the embroidery was covered but just let your creativity run wild with it. There is no wrong way. I used two layers of flannel and a light weight stabilizer when making the blocks and then added another layer of flannel in a coordinating print for the back side.

Very nice! The alpha is adorable. I like the edge of the quilt. Did you use a folded piece of fabric with the fold to the outside? I like that effect.

Wow this quilt is great.how did you do the sashing in between the blocks.It looks like a fluffy effect similiar to velvet thread technique.i would love to know how you did this.

That is the rag part. You sew the pieces together wrong side to wrong side and then snip the seam. Wash dry and it fluffs automatically. Google Rag quilts and you will see many examples and instructions.
