This week between peeling mangoes, I was busy sewing a baby quilt using Bunny Hill Designs free pattern, My Sweet Baby. I wanted to give the quilt an old fashioned look because I'm using 3o's fabrics, so I decided to add embroidery animal corner blocks. I found some great animal pattern blocks in this book.
I can't read Japanese so I'm guessing the title of this book is Really Cute Baby Quilts. The great thing is you can trace a pattern to use without knowing any Japanese. 
Outline embroidery like this is so easy. It's just like coloring with crayons.
My favorite is this chipmunk.
I will post a picture of the finished quilt as soon as those darn ripe mangoes quit dropping from the trees.
