I also found a pretty green print with ivy made from hearts and knew it would complement the pink toile perfectly. A white quilted fabric for the backing would complete the look.
Here it is all finished!
You may have noticed that I've learned how to do binding since the last quilt I shared with you! YouTube sure is handy! I think binding gives the quilt a finished look.
I discovered something that I never knew about myself, that I LOVE sewing, well, maybe not sewing in general, but I love making baby quilts! I love the process of it as much as I love seeing the finished product. I love picking out the fabric, laying it out and seeing that I can make something useful and cute!
I've decided to add them to my Etsy shop. Now, I promise my blog will not become advertising for my Etsy shop, but I thought I'd share that I'm adding a new category that I'm so excited about it! Also, if I may ask those of you who have Etsy shops, do you have any tips to share that you've learned along the way? I've not sold anything yet and I know I just started but any advice would be appreciated so much!
I'm sharing with:
So pretty. I love the toile.
ReplyDeleteI'm always happy to see Etsy shops on Blogs! I'm tired of buying massed produced products and cherish the opportunity to support others. Thanks for sharing....

Your quilts are just beautiful Khammany. There is something I love about toile .,. its so timeless & never loses its appeal. I am always happy to see bloggers promote their etsy shops on their blogs as often I read the blogs but dont have time to go browsing the etsy stores ... so your blog may promote interest & make me click on it. I am glad to hear you are enjoying sewing ... I get quite grumpy if I havent sewed something for a day or two. x0x
ReplyDeleteThe nursery rhyme characters are darling. I just love the pink toile and the green ivy together. Beautiful work Khammany. Have a wonderful evening.....Candy
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely quilt; I've never tried making one.
ReplyDeleteI love toile fabric and the pink looks gorgeous with the green. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI too love toile-I have a love seat in a brown toile that I adore. I just knew you had a talent for this sewing business, beautiful and such a lovely combination of colors!
ReplyDeleteYour so funny and sweet Khammany!!!! Love toile in any way, shape or form, and your right to add this to your Etsy shop dear,you have to share your talent more right?! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe quilts are lovely! I'm no seamstress, but I'm starting to think I need to get started on sewing. Thanks for the inspiration, and for visiting my cabinet re-do! ~Zuni
ReplyDeleteLove your enthusiasm for sewing, your baby quilt is lovely. I've always said anyone can sew.
ReplyDeleteThe quilts are gorgeous and I love that Toile with the nursery rhymes. It is wonderful to read that you love sewing! I find it so relaxing and there would not be a day that I don't do some, even if it is 10 minutes before bed.
ReplyDeleteWow Khammany, that's impressive for a first timer. I would love to sew if I know how. But that is in my bucket list to do next year. I think I will start with quilting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit
I love toile too, and the nursery rhymes are just gorgeous. How I wish I had a grand-daughter coming, and I would buy one of your lovely quilts in a heartbeat!
ReplyDeleteThank you Patricia! I truly appreciate that wonderful comment! :)
DeleteVery pretty! I still have my children's hand made baby quilts from when they were babies. There were not made by me, I cannot sew at all! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThese are precious! I know they will be treasured items...I still have my children's baby quilts!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

I love toile and used to have this as curtains in my old cottage. I still have my children's baby quilts which are now wrapped in tissue paper in the memory box. Happy memories. xx
ReplyDeleteKhammany,
ReplyDeleteThis will be such a cute baby quilt. Please show us when it's done.
Have a happy week.
Love,

So beautiful and precious.Well done!!! Sewing must be a very creative and regenerating activity!
ReplyDeleteWell you had me at toile. Plus the pink and soft green are perfect together. I kinda wish there was a baby girl to be born around me!
ReplyDeleteNow about the Etsy, I wish I had word of wisdom to pass on to you, but I'm just a beginner as well. The only thing I'd say is to treat your customer like friends, because it makes the job so much more interesting.
This is truly beautiful! My great-great grandmother, great grandmother and my grandmother all quilted and I have their treasures to this day…I will not part with them! These quilts will be excellent gifts for anyone and everyone and you are incredibly talented!
ReplyDeleteLove that quilt. Ah, babies. I can see why you love making quilts for them. You are making me re-think sewing...making me want to give it a try again.
ReplyDeleteKudos to you, Khammany! Your baby quilts are adorable! You are very talented and tackle new projects in an artsy way.
ReplyDeletePoppy
Wow, how talented you are. This quilt is beautiful. Love the pink toile.
ReplyDeleteHeidi
Your quilt turned out adorable! Love the fabric combo :)
ReplyDeleteSusan
I like the pink toile a lot and I think it will give a new baby a great sensory scene! Keep up the good work, friend!!
ReplyDeleteLove the pink toile, and it's especially fun that it has nursery characters on it. Very sweet! Thanks for stopping by my blog! ; )
ReplyDeleteI made a dress for my daughter, and I love making it so much I turned it into a business too! Over the four years, I did end up having a few people working for me, sold my dresses online, on Etsy, and in stores. I sold my fabric and notions when we moved to England, but that was a great time in my life (well, now is too). It is so wonderful to find something you are passionate about. You go girl!
ReplyDeleteQuilting is way beyond my skill level. I absolutely love toile (anything). I once had 20' drapes in my previous home made of red silk toile with the print in black and they were stunning. Your quilt is going to look.amazing.
