That being said I have decided that I will do a crib quilt. That transports easily and every kid needs a baby blanket. :) Being that I plan on hand quilting I figure I should get started here. I am half way through this pregnancy already.
I love quilts. And it usually takes me a lot of time to decide on a print. But honestly...I came upon this one pretty fast. I was looking for orange, blues, and grey and this line fits perfectly. I love most of this designers lines. I also wanted something simple, relatively masculine, and yet still "baby".
It's the Bella line by Lotta Jansdotter and I love it. :)
What do you think?

I love basic square quilts so I'll do something similar to the one above. On the back I think I'll do some minky fabric (I don't LOVE the way minky looks but it's so darn soft). Not sure. Anyways, a quilt for a baby boy. Love.
That was the fabric I liked for a boy too!! But its ok, cuz I'm having a girl right?
ReplyDeleteWait, are you? I totaly imagine you with a girl for some reason. Maybe there's something to that. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric! Love the quilt. So, by "hand quilt" do you mean you don't use a machine AT ALL?? Like you only use a needle and thread to make the whole thing?? Clearly I'm an ametuer. Please enlighten me b/c that sounds straight up crazy.
ReplyDeleteHa! Yeah right! I'll piece the whole thing with a machine but the actual quilting part (quilting the layers together) I'll do by hand. If I was doing a large one I'd pay to have someone else do it. In a perfect world I'd have my own quilting machine. But I don't so yeah...by hang it is. :) And it will be very simple straight line quilting by the way.
ReplyDeleteWe find out what we're having in a couple weeks. We're convinced its a girl. So much that we're afraid we'll be bummed if its a boy! But everyone I know is having a boy, so now we're unsure!
