Don’t you just love making baby gifts? A friend of mine just had a sweet little baby girl named Beatrice Birdie. Is that not the cutest name ever?
I already knew I was going to send her the Superstar quilt with the crochet edges if she had a girl. But that didn’t seem like enough so I added a couple of burp cloths.
Then I decided with a middle name like Birdie I just had to make an applique onesie:
THEN I decided she needed a new bib as well. (I could seriously go crazy making baby things)
This is the smallest patchwork I’ve worked with, they are 1″ squares. Now I really appreciate all those teeny tiny patchwork pieces I see.
The backing of the bib and burp cloth are white cotton chenille. I find it washes up really nicely and actually absorbs quite a bit.
Now I’m finally happy with the gift and it’s in the mail!
What is your favorite baby item to make and give?

Oh my…we find out tomorrow if our new grandbaby is a boy or girl! These are such cute baby things. I enjoy making baby things in general, but am looking for all ideas. You just gave me some!
