Well! It has been a little while since I posted anything. I had actually finished this quilt a few weeks back but couldn't post anything until it was packaged up and shipped and received!
So a good friend of ours is expecting his first child so I just had to make up a cute baby quilt. They know that they are having a girl so I went with a very "girlie" pink theme! Since I am currently not traveling for work the last few weeks I was able to work on this in the evenings at home and finish it up in no time!
As you can see from the pictures, I went with a very pretty selection of pinks and greens purchased at Joanne's Fabrics. I know that the pattern for the quilt blocks probably has a name but I just kind of "winged it" to create the look I wanted based on how the fabric went together!

The finished product is really cute and I am so glad that I decided on the bright pink for the fabric backing. I wanted something very feminine and also bright because babies like bright colors! The teal green I chose for the binding was not my first choice. I wanted a pink binding but couldn't find the color that I wanted so I chose the teal. I am SO glad I did. It really "pops" and brings the whole quilt together and also the darker color won't stain as easy!

All 100% cotton fabrics with 100% cotton batting for ultimate softness! Machine pieced and hand quilted by yours truly! I really like making baby quilts because they go together so quickly and you see results much faster than bed quilts.
And the parents-to-be notified me that they received the quilt and love it so it was a success!! Until next time....
