I'd like to make a baby quilt (well actually two) for two girls I work with. I haven't searched much for blocks yet, but would love some ideas from you guys.

Any suggestions?

I found a very cuite one in a pattern book at JoAnns. It wasn't a full crib size so it didn't take long to make. I don't remember what pattern number it was but it had the prairie points for the binding. It also had a pattern for a matching diaper bag I believe. It was just the right size to cover a baby in a stroller or car seat but still not too small. You can usually catch the patterns on sale for .99 or 1.99 pretty often.
My son and daughter-in-law love it.

Silkie...very cute quilts! I love it when I have the chance to sew for girls...I have 3 boys so don't often get a pink fix. I get to look (wistfully) at all the girly girl pink stuff.

I have an embroidery machine so I like to put name, date and weight on baby quilts. It really doesn't take much time and adds a lot.

Pugs...I love the quilt and pillowcase. I also have a Brother embroidery machine and LOVE it! I am like you and if I can get it in the hoop I will embroider it. What model do you have? I have a PC8500 with the pe design software. I have a bunch of cards and I also get tons of free designs on Ann the gran website.

I have a Pacesetter ULT2003D. Yes I am like you as well if it will go into a hoop or on a hoop I should say it gets worked up with a design. . I have found that with the heavy material such as Sweat Shirts and towel I put the stablizer in the hoop and then I center the shirt or towel and pen it in position and it works so much better.

My girl friend has a Ken's quilt machine and I use it on my quilts that are queen size or less. When I make a king I have my brother quilt it, he has a new machine that will handle one up to 120 inches.
