The countdown is on! Only 12 days left until Christmas. This year, I decided to hand make as many gifts as possible. I was surprised at how many I could make with just the inventory I have laying around my workshop. Starting today, I will feature 12 handmade gifts that will perhaps inspire you to get creative and give special one-of-a-kind gifts this year. So, here we go!
A quilted color block book with ages 0 - 2 years in mind. Made from all scrap fabric and a muslin jacket cover.

| Finally, the perfect reason to keep those colorful scraps around! |
 |
| Cut out 16, 3"x3" pieces of scrap fabric and sew together with a 1/2" seam allowance. Sew pages wrong sides together leaving a 2" opening to turn right-side out. Stitch opening closed with a blind stitch ( I personally don't like seams showing, but you could easily just stitch it shut on one edge). |
 |
| Optional - sew two button holes on edge if you want removable pages. |
 |
| I sewed buttons on the jacket so that the pages could be removable for more creative play. |
 |
| Add different textured fabrics to add another dimension of fun! |
