Baby Block

My cousin is coming to town for Thanksgiving and they are bringing their 12m old baby Jillian. I love Jillian so, so much and just had to make her a toy :) So here it is, my latest creation. After fumbling around with it I made a few tiny mistakes but hey, it's a toy! No one will notice ;)

So here is basically how I did it: (sorry, forgot to take pics along the way)

The fabric I used had printed squares so I cut those out and folded the edge about a 1/4 inch on the wrong side of the fabric, and ironed it down. Be careful not to burn yourself with the fold being so small. Sometimes I lay a piece of cardstock under the fold to keep it from wiggling away.

Once they were all ready I just started sewing them together in a block-like formation with 4 in a column and one square on each side of the top square in that column. Make sure not to completely stitch up your last square because you need a small hole for stuffing the block!

Then stitch the last side together and presto! One adorable, fun baby block! Couldn't be any easier!
