Design Wall Monday: A Whale of a Baby Quilt

Great Nephew #7 is on the way, due around the end of September. Because I'll have some grandma stuff going on in September, I want to get the baby's quilt done by the end of August, so if he comes early I don't have to scramble.

I'm using a cute whale print and three sizes of blocks, 9", 6", and 3" HSTs.



After making a few more HST's, I can start to play with layout on the design wall.

Getting there; not final yet but the concept is as I envisioned. A few more tweaks and I can start assembling this top.

The final size will be 39" wide by 45" long. I have enough of the whale print for the backing. I'd like the same navy for the binding, but I've used up all I have, so I'll probably use the medium blue Grunge for the binding. I have just enough lime green for piped binding if I decide to use it.

Hopefully I can tweak the layout and get the top assembled this week.
