Tyler's Quilt

Last fall I had three secret sewing projects that I couldn't reveal on the blog. All three are finished, and today I can reveal the first one.

My niece & her husband didn't want to find out their baby's sex until it was born; they already had a boy and a girl. So I had to make a gender-neutral quilt for the new little one.  Baby Tyler came into the world on Monday, and here is the quilt I made for him.

My niece has sophisticated and modern taste, so I was pretty certain she'd like a chevron pattern. I chose updated versions of the typical gender-neutral baby colors of yellow and green, and made it bold and bright, so that it doesn't scream "baby." Then I gave it spiral quilting. Tyler's mom loves it.

Tyler is such a sweet baby. I got to meet him - and hold him! - on Tuesday. Such a tiny little bundle! He's a cutie. Congratulations to mom & dad, brother & sister, and welcome to the world baby Tyler!

  8. Beautiful--I really like how the off-center spiral looks on against the chevrons.
