Every baby needs a quilt. or. that’s my excuse to sit down and make a quilt rather than washing my kitchen floor!
There’s a new baby cousin in our family. In the back of my mind I was toying with the idea of making a quilt, but it wasn’t till after he was born that I decided I WAS making one. I knew what the mom’s nursery colors were, and I knew which style to make.
A while back, she commented on this one that I made for my kiddos, so I knew that’s what I’d be making, only editing the colors a bit, rather than a total mish-mash.
When I make something as a gift, I’m always agonizing whether they’ll like it. “should I have rather gone with this? what if this is just the one fabric they hate?” on and on. But this time I had a blast. Because I knew her exact colors and what pattern to make. I tried to add in fun motifs, although it was a little harder cause I was just going with teal, orange, green, black and white.
I think this little guy blowing bubbles is my favorite.
I didn’t get a pic of the back, but it’s a green and yellow flannel with a bit of an argyle print.
Stay tuned, I think there’s a bit of a giveaway in the near future… what should I give you; fabric, or a finished project?
This quilt is so cute!
Um, dilemma. Well, fabric or finished project–either one would rock!

I love it, it is so bright and happy.
what a fabulous quilt! Love the color combos!! I am wondering–is this a quilt-as-you-go? I can't seem to figure out how the back looks/works with that type of quilting, but I sure do like yours! Do you have any thoughts/tips for this method?
I totally love this quilt! I'm positive the reciever will love it! (I would!)
yep!!! she will love it, I am sure 🙂 great job!!!
I WISH I was your little cousin! LOVE IT!
That quilt is beyond adorable, what a lucky baby!
Bubble boy is adorable! Yes, I'm also wondering how the back of a quilt as you go would look and if you like that method. And for the giveaways, I'm interested to see what project you could part with!
That is a beautiful baby quilt! So many fun prints and colors!!
I love the quilt, the fabric and the design!! So cute!! And of course every baby needs a quilt!!
Fantastic quilt! So bright and fun! 🙂
I'd love to see a finished item giveaway. 😀

I love the mixture of colors here! Wonderfully scrappy.
This is my most favorite quilt I've seen all year! And I look at a lot of blogs. 🙂 I love all the different colors, patterns and textures. Perfect for a baby (and me). Really, really nice job.
What a fantastis quilt! I love these sort of modern log cabins and think they make a super child's quilt. So much colour and so many things for the little one to look at and point out and later to talk about.
