"Margaret's Quilt" - I made this quilt for my 4th grandchild. Carol Armstrong's book "Applique Inside the Lines" was my inspiration for the letters. I found this a fun way to applique.

Just Ducky - This adorable rubber duck quilt is one of my popular baby quilt designs offered on my website or from a quilt shop near you. It is easy and adds some fun elements like bibs, pacifiers even sunglasses to give your babies quilt some personality.

Jungle Babies - This is another popular baby quilt pattern that I offer on my website, www.desireesdesigns.com. This pattern comes with large pieces, I fused large areas of fabrics and used the templates to cut out the pieces. After fusing down onto the background fabric I assembled quilt and satin stitched around the images. This satin stitching also became the quilting and required just a bit more quilting to finish the quilt. Its a great, easy project that your baby will love.
