Angie’s Teddy Bear Baby Quilt

I have a darling baby boy quilt to share with you today!! Angie made this for her daughter’s best friend. So sweet!

I searched for a pattern and couldn’t find one. The bears and bow ties are appliquéd on.

Because the bears are appliquéd, Angie wanted some custom quilting. The back is also a thick minky, so I wanted to be careful not to quilt it too densely.

I decided on a grid in the background to line up with the squares in the sashing. Which I felt would enhance the bears but not be too dense.

To make the square sashing stand out and change up the quilting, I decided to treat them as four patches and quilt an x in them.

For all of the lines I used Edge rulers from Linda at The Quilted Pineapple. Go to: https://www.thequiltedpineapple.com/shop/

I quilted around each bear and the in the bow ties, to help them pop. The bears are only about 4” to 5” tall.

I quilted a freehand squiggle line in the inner border and decided to do a 1/4” pinstripe in the outer border. I love love love the combination of all the lines!!

I used cream Omni thread from Superior Threads. Go to: https://www.superiorthreads.com/omni-3004-cream-neutral/p/134-02-3004 And don’t forget to use my non-affiliate code ASTLEISHA at checkout for 15% off your order.

I also used 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

Check out the texture on the minky back!!
