BABY QUILTS–Restyled

My daughter recently made an adorable cross-stitch baby blanket similar to this Dimensions Quilt

The cross stitch is printed on a white quilt.  It’s fun and easy (though time-consuming) to stitch!

The only problem…when you are done-the back is rather messy with stitches.

So we decided to remove the binding,

And a new backing, and a little more quilting (Aurifil 28wt cotton)  to hold the layers together….

And then add a new binding…Cross Stitch Baby Quilt

Adorable!  Way better than the original binding and back!

Baby Louis is going to love this!

What about YOU?  Have you ever made a cross-stitch quilt?

How did YOU bind it?

We’d LOVE to hear!
