Handmade baby quilts make the world a softer place
Just about anything soft makes us happy, whether it’s the soothing voice of our favorite singer singing a romantic ballad or the soft softness of our pillow as we drift to sleep. Young babies also crave the comfort of softness, but safety concerns limit their ability to enjoy it. Limited, yes, impossible goal, no. There is nothing harsh or edgy about beautifully made baby quilts, an item that safely brings softness to the precious babies in your life.
The softness of the baby quilt is carefully created
That super soft baby quilt not‘you happen by accident. Manufacturers of baby quilts scour the market for the best quality baby cotton flannels. That’s because not all flannels are the same. The place of origin and manufacturing techniques may lead to variations. There are some savvy seamstresses who shop not only at fabric stores, but also baby specialty stores, looking for baby clothes that they can tailor to their unique baby quilt designs. The experienced hands and eyes of veteran quilters inspect all selections for the best options. When those fabrics arrive home, they are machine washed and dried before any sewing begins, not only to prevent shrinkage, but to make sure the level of softness is increased. We all remember a favorite blanket that felt better and better as it was washed. Pre-washing the baby quilt materials starts the process that will continue as the quilt gets more and more washes.
When baby is a newborn, the comforter can be wrapped securely over the crib or stroller mattress for snug comfort without creases or wrinkles. Or it can be rolled up and packed so that the baby has safe contact.
Nothing soothes like a soft familiar place
The life of a baby is full of anxiety. When is the next meal coming? When is the next diaper change? Who is that person making faces at me? What the little one needs when it’s time to escape the uncertainties of the day with an afternoon nap or a night’s sleep is the feeling of something soft, safe, familiar and soothing, and that’s what homemade baby quilts provide. for boys and girls.
And they can take that feeling of well-being with them on the go, because the familiar comfort provided by the soft baby quilt is mobile. When your little one travels to grandma’s house for the day or to visit friends out of state, the naptime room may seem new and strange, but the much-loved quilt will be a reassuring old friend.
There is a lot of plastic in the life of a baby, both hard and flexible, because it is a very practical and washable material. But plastic is no match for the luxurious feel of soft baby flannel.
The comfort of the comforter does not end with the crib. Baby will continue to appreciate that cushiony softness when he and dad read a story together, snuggled up on the couch, or when she and mom play with toys on the nursery floor.
Here‘is the perfect gift
Handmade baby quilts are created by a conscientious craftsman whose sole goal is to make a quilt of such high quality and beautiful design that it will be loved by the baby, treasured by the family and will always be a reminder of the thoughtful person who gave it.
