Quilted Nap Sack

  1. An elf (who happens to be the working mom of a 2 1/2 year old and 2 month old so therefore must be too busy to read her MIL's blog) told me that little Audrey would like a Nap Sack for Christmas.
  2. I bought some A Stitch In Color fabric by Malka Dubrawsky a while ago knowing it would be just perfect for the right project
  3. Walla - Moda Bake Shop recipe for a Quilted Nap Sack by Angela Yosten:


The only changes I made were to not include the sashings since Audrey is only two years old and to topstitch the sack closed on the outside with the binding showing rather than on the inside and then turn right side out. 

The  12" X 16" pillow form tucks into the "sham" that attaches at the top of the sack,  but I also made a removable pillow cover that can be washed.

Could there even be a more perfect fabric for this Nap Sack?

Here is the sack all rolled up with attached straps with snap ends:




I hope it keeps Audrey snug wherever she happens to roll it out!

This is a perfectly wonderful nap sack! I LOVE it! That's one of my favorite fabric lines and I've been wanting to make some of these for a long time. You did an AWESOME job! Thanks for sharing!

None of my kids read my blog. I know cause I talk about them and they never call and fuss at me about it.

Hopefully the busy mom can get some things done while Audrey naps in her new sack. It's adorable and the fabric is perfect.

So adorable! I know she will love it! I need to make 7 or 8 little quilt, like 12 x 12 for Annika's stuffed animals. She has them all lined up along the wall with Kleenex for covers!

Mary, these are perfect fabrics for Audrey's mat! I love how bright the colors are for a young one. I used these same Malka prints for Leo's baby quilt. I bookmarked this mat pattern for when he is older....and I am hoarding these fabrics ;-)
