Diaper Bag, Twister Baby Quilt & Stuffed Bears in Velour

Over a year ago I made a diaper bag, a quilt and a couple of bears as a gift to my niece who was having a baby (he is one year old already!). 

I chose to make the Show Off Bag (Whistlepig Creek pattern). I thought it could be used as a diaper bag or later as a nice tote bag for carrying things that are needed for 2 young children (Great nephew has an older sister). My niece likes blue, so that's what she got. 

I made the Twister quilt in bold colors for a boy. I made 2 velour Warren bears. I told my niece to let her young daughter to choose the bear she wanted and the other bear is for her baby brother. I don't know which bear she chose.  

The Show Off Bag (named so you could show off a large print).

Sides have a pocket with elastic top, which I thought would hold a baby bottle and later a water bottle or sippy bottle.

I added a couple of hidden slip pockets; one on the front and one on the back of the bag for quick access to keys and phone.

Bag zips closed.

To show how large this bag is, I rolled up the quilt (backed in blue flannel) and put the blue bear on the right and the aqua bear on top. Then zipped it closed. I put this in a box to mail it to her.

I added divided slip pockets on each side along the width of the bag.

I added purse feet on the bottom.

The bag measures 18" wide x 12" high x 6" deep.

Now on to the Twister Quilt~

I used all scraps for the front top of the quilt and blue flannel for the back of the quilt. 

Straight lines to quilt it in a variegated thread.

Here are the 2 velour Warren bears (pattern from Shiny Happy World).

I really stuffed them a lot to give them more of a squishy tummy. They are so soft and cuddly.

Aqua bear has a red heart, oval muzzle and a triangle nose.

Blue bear has a long muzzle, oval nose and a heart on the left side.
