Hello Oopsey Daisy Readers!
I am so excited to be here guest posting for Baby Week.

Today, I am going to share with you how to make these fun Cloth Baby Blocks.

But first I would like to share with you a bit about myself. I am a stay at home mom of 2 girls. They definitely keep me busy.

I am the author of A Vision to Remember.

Each Saturday I have a link party where everyone is welcome to link up what they have been working on. It is called Check ME Out Saturday. I hope you can stop by and share something.

I also have an Etsy shop where I sell lots of different patterns:
Like this flower pattern

And these rag quilts and car seat tent patterns.

I also sell many rag quilts and blankets there.

Now onto the tutorial:

This is a fun I Spy Baby Block that I whipped up in just a few minutes (ok maybe 1/2 hour)

You will need 6 square pieces of fabric. Mine are 5 inches. Also, if you are wanting to to add the appliques you can find them here.

I used 4 appliques.

Raw edge applique the animals onto the squares that you would like them on. Sew about 1/4 inch away from the edge of the applique.

Sew the squares together like in the picture above. Repeat with the 3 remaining squares.

Then sew the squares together as above

Now sew the 2 separate 3 square sections together. Notice that I sewed the sections together wrong. 2 of the animals ended up being upside down...

Sew them together all the way around so that you have a block. Make sure to leave a small hole to turn the block right side out.

Turn the block right side out:

Now stuff the block with batting or really small fabric scraps.

Sew the hole closed with a needle and thread. I hate doing this part, but remember that the smaller hole you leave open the less you have to sew back together

Now try and take pictures of your block...this is my failed attempt. The wind blew the block over the railing and my dear 4 year old saved it for me. Man I love that girl!

Now you have a really fun I spy block.
Make sure to stop by and tell me hi!

Thank you Bobbie!! These are so cute!
