One, Two, Three baby Quilts Plus One!

We have had two baptisms at St. Mark last month and one this month and the quilts are now done and delivered to church last Sunday.
Number one, very scrappy using baby type fabrics that looked more "boyish" in random sized rectangles.
And a pieced backing, quilted with peacock feathers and light blue thread.
  One baby girl quilt
 A cute piece of alphabet fabric needed borders to "grow" it a bit!
 And plenty left for the backing.
 The other baby boy gets this yellow and grey quilt using three sizes of triangles.
Below, Matthew's quilt is a combination baptism and birthday gift.
I am very happy with the way this turned out, the fabrics are cute together and the18" giant block pattern from Missouri star Quilt Co. was perfect.
 I meandered in the Mickey block background to echo the round shape of the Mickey Dots fabric and his ears and head and used some quick and easy modern ideas to quilt the black zipper, the  red and and white fabrics.
The black print squares have Mickey's outline, using Superior Magnifico thread and a couple of different sizes of round templates..
It was great to have enough of the zipper fabric to bind the quilt, that fabric has been in stash for several years and this was the perfect time to use it.
