baby book
A few months ago someone posted photos of a baby book she'd made out of small pieced and quilted squares. I was so intrigued by it that I tried making one--sans instructions-- and these photos are the result. It's horribly sewn and there's no excuse for that except it was an experiment that I finally just wanted done. After I got the "pages" made, I couldn't figure out how she put hers together; the way I did it is clearly not correct but a baby probably wouldn't care!
There are three peek-a-boo pages -- the theme is dogs, as you can see -- well, dogs and transportation -- backed with a non peek a boo square. The front is the red and white stripe peek-a-boo and that's wrong; it should not have a peek a boo cover, but I couldn't figure how to put them together with a plain square front and back.
The OP's book was wonderful! and very professional looking. Mine was just a fun experimental project, rather poorly made, but I'm showing it, anyway, in case someone else wants to try.

This is adorable! I think you did a wonderful job for working without a pattern. I actually bought a kit a few months ago for a baby book and it comes with instructions.

It was actually a kit from my LQS that unfortunately they do not have anymore, but it used the Quilting Treasures Little Golden Books panels. The only other thing required is flat batting and the instructions are printed on the panel. I hope you can find it! Congratulations on your first grandchild!
