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?

That is a LOT of covers, and each so different!
Thank you so much Carla for sharing these beautiful quilts with us. I enjoyed looking at them very much. In fact, I will enjoy looking them over again tomorrow over a cuppa. You are in inspiration.
Favourites? The hearts, strawberries, aeroplanes and the cat… That’s an impressive array of loveliness, and you should be proud of the happiness and pleasure you’ve brought to families and babies over the years.
Carla, I love them all your work is always A class. Lots of happy families that have received your gifts.
I love the frogs! They are all beautiful and I am sure they are treasured.
Oh wow Carla, amazing little quilts. My faves are the cherry cake, the bike, the panda and, of course, the cat, ♥️♥️
Such beautiful baby quilts, lots of variety and difficult to choose a favourite, but I really like the Lion, Lamb and Dinosaur – they made me smile. Well done on all your hard work – bet you loved designing each one 🙂 The photo’s sequence was different in my email so I got a better look at them all.
All of your quilts are lovely and fun! But what is a humidicrib quilt?
I love the lions. I have made a couple
, the panda and the cake
Amazing gallery of work! I really like the panda and airplanes (no surprise there). 🙂
Oh thank you so much for sharing these and sharing your God given talents with those who receive them. I guess it would be hard to pick but I love the elephants.
They are all fun, but I love the elephants and the puppy dogs!!!!
Such a wonderful gallery of quilts Carla! You should be very proud of your achievement!
I love those frogs, never seen that pattern before. They are all pretty spectacular!
What a gorgeous collection of craft and artistry mixed in with your great heart. Let’s see…my favorites are the cat, the panda, all the little squares in blue, and those delightful frogs. They’re all magnificent though. I’m so glad you put together this gallery.
Wow–what a wonderful collection of baby blankets! We do the donating to neonatal hospitals in our guild, too, but the ones we donate are much simpler than your works of art. These are all so wonderful, and so perfectly wonderful for new babies. I am in awe!
Whoa they are awesome – such talent – thank you for sharing, I will have to show my sewing tutor these!!!
So so cute…each and every one! Smaller quilts are fun. I have decided to stop making so many queens and just do throws.
I love the lion and the bicycle the most.
So many cute quilts!! And refreshing to see someone using thoughtful designs and pretty fabrics to make quilts for donation instead of just slapping unwanted stuff! Well done!
Love them all, especially the panda. Where did the pattern come from, if you don’t mind sharing?
Surprised to not see a turtle or croc in there anywhere! 😆
Love the strawberries and hearts!
