Emmett Baby Quilt

I have been on a baby quilt roll lately.  Everyone keeps having babies!  This baby quilt was created in a color pallet of navy blue and gray.  That is a really hard color combo for a baby quilt.  I created a couple of quilts before I figured out the perfect quilt pattern.

I found a fun print with boat schematics and felt that it needed to be in the quilt.  But was at a loss at what to make.  Then on a trip to the fabric store I stumbled on the elephant print.  It had navy blue in it!  I decided to use that fabric as my inspiration.  I cut the print on the bias to have the elephants standing upright.  The blocks are places in an argyle pattern and quilted to emphasize that.  

If you look closely, the plaid lines in his name line up perfectly.  Ya, I am nuts like that, haha.  

I backed the quilt with white minky fabric, which shows off the quilting nicely.  

Maggie had to check out the quilt while I was taking pictures.  She loves to look at quilts...

and the she loves to hide in the bushes when the wind blows.

Brown and Blue

Recently I created a brown and blue baby quilt for a little boy.  Using almost all stash fabrics, this little quilt came together quickly.

It is made with the disappearing nine patch block.  I added a couple borders to frame the quilt.  

I free motion quilted the quilt using a light blue thread in a large meander.  I love the loopy on these baby quilts and it goes so quickly when I quilt it.  

I backed the quilt with minky fabric, blue with a strip of brown.  The quilt is bound in a brown argyle.  

I love the simple blocks for baby quilts, they really make sweet quilts.  I hope the little baby enjoys his quilt.
