I love Baby James. He was born the day before my birthday. I got this great idea from my friend
Emily to make banners. She created one that said "Celebrate" for any holiday... But I decided it would be a totally cute way to put a baby's name above the crib. I made this one with the left over fabric that I bought for his baby quilt.
This quilt pattern had ducks on it originally but I thought that was too girly for James. Sail boats were the perfect substitute since his dad likes to sail.
Things I learned while making this quilt:
- Bias tape edging is easy but expensive
- tucked under edging applique without freezer paper and following directions is pretty hard... but totally doable.
- piecing together a striped pattern fabric for the back is hardly noticeable
- flannel fabric shrinks A LOT in the wash. Buy way more of it than you would cotton fabric
