Baby Quilt Accessories

To accompany the baby quilt for Marieke, I also made a hot water bottle cover (kruikzak), a music box, and a diaper stacker.
The pattern on the kruikzak is exactly the same as on the quilt. I attatched a shoestring to tie it closed.

At some toy stores and craft stores you can get the innards of a music box. This one plays a popular German lullaby. Here you see the blue and red fourpatch, while the other side is just yellow. Again I used a shoestring so it can be hung up somewhere.

I kept the diaper stacker pretty simple. Just as the one I made for myself, the blue fabric is leftover fabric from our curtains. I used a similar yellow to the yellow in the quilt for the trim.

Baby Room Accessories

My mom made the baby quilt made of batik fabrics, which became the inspiration for the rest of the room.
Together we jazzed up the canopy to make it match the bed.

I didn't like the lining that came in this basket, so I made a new one!

I had no pattern for making a diaper stacker, but I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I was so nervous as I got to the last couple stitches that it wouldn't work out, but it did!

Dutch babies use a metal hot bottle to warm up the bed. I made a custom cover for it.

With the left over scraps I made a crazy little night light.
