Baby Shower Gifts!

So I had a baby shower to go to last weekend and I decided to make something instead of purchasing. I've been eyeing this tutorial and a few others online for a while now on how to make a Rag Quilt and I finally decided to make it. I also made a few burp cloths. Let me know how you guys like it! That's my daughter "testing" out the quilt.

That's it. Leave any comments, questions, or suggestions.

DIY: Super Easy Burp Cloth Tutorial

Ok so I think every baby deserves something hand made with them in mind. So I when my friends or family go into labor I always do burp cloths. Trust me you can never have enough burp cloths. A friend went into labor and so I whipped these up real quick and took pictures so you can see my process. It does require a serger, if you don't have one you can just use a zig-zag stitch all the way around.

 I purchased those fat quarters from Joanns. Well actually my son picked this bunch out and *paid* for it (he gave the cashier my debit card. I ironed it nice and flat.

 Folded it in half and cut it length wise.

 Then I cut the same shape out of terry cloth and ironed it.

 I pinned the two together WRONG SIDES FACING and rounded the edges.

 I just went over the edges with my serger.

 Sewed on my tag and viola, you are done. I made 3 of them for the gift set.

Here are all three.

This shows the underside.

This is nicely folded and wrapped with some pretty ribbon.
