baby sleep sack


I decided to quilt a sleep sack for my boy. I have the Halo Sleep Sack and it does the job, but I just don't like looking at it. I made a pattern from my existing blanket sleeper, but the end result turned out a little smaller than I planned. He just won't have much wiggle room. I pieced together the top from scraps. As an experiment, I handquilted the top and machine quilted the back. I was lazy and didn't baste or pin, so it's a little kittywampus. But I like it and it wasn't very hard to make.
