In order to help welcome handsome Baby Miles to the world, we put together a basket of handmade baby gifts. I will post more about each item. But, the inspiration was Miles's Galapagos-themed nursery and the so soft and wonderful Robert Kauffman "Cozy Cotton" collection in aqua blues and browns.
I used mainly the Robert Kaufman Cozy Cotton flannels, with some supplemental flannel and regular cotton fabric. And, for those who know Elle, I had to add at least a little blue batik!
The basket included
- One very puffy baby quilt
- One pieced "blanky" with no batting
- A square chevron pillow
- Four embellished burp cloths
- A little stuffed turtle
- One lined storage bin
I think it turned out well, and it was fun to do so many different things with one consistent line of fabrics. And, of course, we wanted to do something for Elle. Without her, our nursery probably would never have come together! And, of course Elle made two amazing quilts for Aileen! (One full-size, and one from the scraps!)
Aileen helped me make the turtle, and in the end, I think she was unconvinced that we should give it away! We may have to practice making a few more!
