Just thought you might like to see some pics of the cot quilt I made using the Blue Work Bonnets designs. I stitched them out in pink on white and used contrasting shades of pink fabric to complete my quilt.
I top-stitched all my joins with satin ribbon and backed it with soft cuddly fleece. Although I have been doing embroidery for a couple of years now, this is my first attempt at quilting. My grand daughter has just found out that she is expecting so I’m hoping for a girl.

What a darling quilt! Is the ribbon stitched on top, or into a seam? Is it hand or machine quilted. What a luck granddaughter who will receive it. Thanks for posting photos.
I never thought to cover the seams with ribbon. What a neat idea.

Really nice. Excellent effort for your first quilt. This may be the start of something big!!!! LOL Good luck with the “baby girl”
Love your quilt Dianne – a beautiful job – well done!
I love bonnets. I never thought to make them in PINK. this is beautiful. I know the recipient will cherish this quilt. Keep up the good work. Mary
You did a beautiful job!! This is so pretty! Doesn’t look like a first time quilt. You will inspire other first timers into taking the plunge. Can’t imagine you making anything so nice without someone already in mind. Looked like a labor of love. Hope it’s a girl too!
This quilt is beautiful! I’d love to know if there was any special technique for sewing on the ribbons. Were the ribbons added using any special embroidery hoop?
This is a beautiful quilt.
What a beautiful quilt. Ribbon accent what a unique touch.
Thank you to everyone for your comments,the stippling was done on my embroidery machine, the ribbon was stitched over the seam.
Sadly my grand daughter has miscarried so not too sure if I want to keep it now.
That is such a beautiful quilt, my compliments to you.
Very nice quilt. Lots of time and love went into that creation.
This is so very cute, why do we think we have to do the same thing as in the book, this is so!!!!!! very nice. thanks Fran
Hi Carol Ann, I stitched the ribbon on using my old flat sewing machine. Actually I am surprised about the number of comments regarding the ribbon as I thought that was the way it was done…LOL
Very good work, especially for a 1st quilt.
Is that a blanket on the back?
I have plans for a couple of quilts and this as inspired me to get moving on them .
Well done. Mal
love your quilt. I have made a few quilts but never thought to use contrasting ribbon like that. Brilliant!!
That is just too adorable! Great job
OH Diane….Please hold on to this beautiful little quilt. It may be just the thing for a wonderful litte Blessing down the road. You did such a wonderful job.
This is just adorable (even hubs was impressed!)
I’m so sorry to hear about the little one; but this was made with too much love not to keep. Maybe you could hold it “in trust”
It’s just beautiful!
