Humidicrib quilts – the gallery

A bit of idle curiosity inspired me to wonder how many humidicrib quilts I have made over the years. I think I photographed most of them.

Let’s see …

Each square in this tiny quilt top is only one inch across.

They are hard to see in this photo, but I did quilt paws into the background.

I quilted this one in an all-over stipple.

The dog is a mustardy yellow. Does that make it a golden retriever puppy?

The appliqué design for this quilt comes from the fabric I used in the binding.

This humidicrib quilt’s design is a modified version of a little quilt in the Design Collective’s book Little Birds.

Each square in this quilt is only one inch across. The finished quilt top is 16 x 24 inches.

This was my first humidicrib quilt. The lion picture came from one of my favourite sources of inspiration, a colouring book.

I quilted paw prints again here, as I did on the other doggy-themed humidicrib cover.

This sheep was also inspired by a colouring book.

Can you see the pattern or are you just going cross-eyed?

With two blocks and a bit of extra fabric as filler, I had a humidicrib cover.

I quilted in the ditch around the panda and bamboo, and then filled in the background with swirls.

Of course, a bicycle pattern needs bicycle-print fabric.

I quilted this one in loops.

This mini quilt is truly gender neutral, I think.

I raided my scrap bag of 2½-inch squares.

My favourite part is the cloud print in the background. It is subtle, but it is so appropriate.

I had to flip a coin to decide between cherry and strawberry cake.

I think I will name this cat Marmalade until its new owners claim it.

Big loopy quilting and a navy blue binding finished this one.

Purple, purple and more purple!

I am proud of my quilting here! I stitched in the ditch around the boat and then quilted waves on the sea and windy swirls in the sky.

I ended up using grey binding as it had fairy-tale text, which seemed appropriate.

My humidicrib quilt for February is all about green and frogs.

And that adds up to … lots!

One was made as a nursery wall-hanging for my Spanish teacher. The others all were donated to a local hospital’s neotatal unit.

I wonder whether I have forgotten any.

Any favourites among the bunch?
