Baby Blocks

cimg2318.jpg

I made these sweet baby blocks for our goddaughter’s birthday last week. They spell out her name on one side and have numbers on the opposite side. My inspiration was the blocks I saw over at Craftsbury Kids. So they would also be great with felt applique, but since I had the embroidery machine…well. Each one is filled with polyfill (though foam would have been a great alternative) and I put a plastic easter egg filled with various noisemakers in each one (duct taped for safety!).

  1. What a great idea. I was google searching for inspiration for a birthday present for a one-year-old. I’m already eyeing my stash for fabric for these! I’ve never used felt for applique before (I don’t embroider much) – do you just adhere it, or must it be stitched on as well? Thanks!

  2. These are so adorable. I’ve already got the idea filed away for the next time I’m invited to a baby shower. What are the dimensions of your cubes?
