My first baby quilt - blue bear blue bear what do you see?
It's my very first baby quilt, still learning, I tried to stitch in the ditch, but the stitches somehow just don't like to fall in the ditch, oh well, I just need more practice.
This is meant for my friend's new born baby boy Leo. I fussy cut the little bears, used high loft batting, and a "I love daddy I love mommy" flannel at the back.
Thanks for looking!

it looks really great. SITD can be hard to keep IN the ditch. Try using a decorative stitch if your machine has them. Even a utility stitch can be very pretty. On the last quilt that I did, I used a fagoting stitch. if I got off the ditch line you couldn't tell and it was actually kinda pretty. even a simple zigzag can be interesting on a seamline. my favorite is a serpentine stitch. it makes the quilt look poofy even when it's not. try some of the stitches on your machine. You might be really amazed at how good it looks!
