When Joan at Moosestash Quilting first announced this blog hop, I just couldn’t resist!
I knew I was going to make a teddy bear quilt for this challenge. The book, Fat Quarter Baby, has the cutest teddy bear quilt! A Christmas gift bundle of Fat Quarters was the perfect choice.
Here is a picture of the quilt – prior to me adding eyes and a mouth. It’s cute, but a teddy must have eyes and a smile – right?

The eyes were appliqued on (gasp!) and the smile was stitched with a fairly tight zigzag stitch. Simple “in the ditch” quilting finished this little guy!

Make sure you visit all of the other bloggers in this hop! There’s a lot of creativity happening!

So glad you added the eyes and mouth to give this guy so much personality. That first photo without them was almost sad. I understand because my first photo of my Polar Bears was also missing their facial detail.

I often don’t make things from books … but when I do, I figure they should be mentioned! And this one is great!

Hi Gail! Oh, the addition of eyes and a smile just puts the cuteness factors right over the top. This looks like a FUN quilt to make. Hmm. I might just need to make this for an upcoming baby shower. Wouldn’t it be fun to make the tummy, face, and feet with a small textured fabric? Too cute and great job. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
