Since the last baby quilt was girly, the next one should be boyish. I pulled fabrics from stash that can work with this cute print. The stripe was pure luck - It's been in my stash for years, something I picked up years ago simply because I liked the colors in it and you can always use a good stripe for a binding. For scale, the largest spots in the dotty print are a less than a quarter inch, so you can see the treehouse print is very delicate in scale but with a fairly large repeat.
The colors in the treehouse print are subtle, but I think a modern mom would like this for a baby quilt. It certainly doesn't scream grandma.
In order to feature the cute fabric, I'll keep the proportions of the other fabrics smaller so as not to overwhelm the focus print. That's about a 9" finished square showing above.
Stay tuned, I'm looking forward to working on this project!

Oh that is terrific. What a find to have all the other fabrics in the stash. The block proportions are perfect. I'm looking forward to seeing what it looks like when done.
ReplyDeleteThis will make such a charming baby quilt. You are right about stripes - I always like a striped binding too.

ReplyDeleteHi Jan,
ReplyDeleteYou sure did a good job shopping within your stash. The fabrics you picked are perfect. I too, like a striped binding, and often cut it on the bias. It will make a great baby quilt. Thanks for joining in on Design Wall Monday, Judy
I love that treehouse fabric line. I have some in an English paper pieced quilt that i've been making for the last gazillion years. It makes me smile to see those animals partying! Right now, I guess we're all jealous as well. Party on bears and rabbits cause we humans are out of commission for awhile!!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a cute print! It's always fun to be able to pull something old from the stash that matches so nicely with something new.
