Bibs

As the last part of my sister's baby shower presents, I decided to make a couple of bibs for her. I found this tutorial for cute bibs:
http://sewshesews.wordpress.com/2010/04/08/quilted-patchwork-bib-pattern-and-tutorial/ and decided to give it a try.

I got all of the fabric cut and then decided which way I wanted the fabrics to be pieced together. The middle 4 pieces got moved around a couple of times, but I like the way they ended up.

These are the combinations the bibs ended up in.
I didn't take a lot of pictures during this project because I needed to get them done quickly. My sister's shower was only a couple of days away & these were the last project (of the stuff she didn't know about). 

First one done!
All four of the bibs. My personal favorite is the bottom right, though the bottom left is a very close second.
With the velcro fastened. 

I used an iron-on velcro, made for fabric, for these. It was super simple. The only thing was that the soft side of the velcro did NOT need the 90 seconds of ironing for adhesion that the instructions said to do. They melt with that long! It needed about 30 seconds and then to cool down and then about 10-15 more seconds if the corners were popping up at all.

My sister seemed to really like them, so I hope she gets some good use out of them!
