Loving Wishes Quilt Pattern for Someone Special
Sending Love & Best Wishes to a New Baby and Their Parents! A new baby is coming and of course I just had to design and make a new baby quilt – the Loving Wishes Quilt. Our wonderful nephew and his wife are expecting their first child. And guess what? It’s a girl!!!!
Loving Wishes Quilt Pattern – So Sweet
The beautiful Loving Wishes Quilt Pattern captures the feeling of wishing all the best for a little one. With dainty paths criss-crossing in the background, hearts are the center focus of each star. Gingham accents this quilt in just the right places and a wonderful border surrounds the quilt.
A Heart Quilt Pattern for All Ages
Shown here in pinks & green for a little girl, this would also be so darling in blue gingham for a little boy! Or make one of the larger sizes for a charming farmhouse look. Pretty in pastels, Valentine reds, summertime prints, or whatever’s in your stash.
Simply pick 3 fabrics plus a background fabric to make this lovely quilt! ♡
How I Quilted Loving Wishes
For this quilt, hearts were the way to go! You may recognize the heart designs from the quilting I did on the Sugarcoated Stars Quilt Pattern. I used this 4-Heart Stencil on the background to add the extra “love” that I wanted to give this quilt. It’s so easy to do, you simply mark the stencil design with an erasable pen for fabric and then do free-motion quilting and follow the lines.
Quilting Tip – Start in the center of the hearts, work your way out and then go back into the center.
On the border, I used this Feather Border Stencil that actually looks like hearts and compliments the 4-heart stencil perfectly. For the rest I outlined the hearts, stars and Irish chain to make them look more 3-dimensional. I kept the quilting simple, so the quilt would be soft and cuddly.
