2010 First baby quilt

T's new baby quilt top

I really enjoyed the reactions of pleasure when the recipient unwrapped the pink butterfly quilt on the weekend! I spent a lot of time on it and liked how it turned out. And talk about serendipidy... the little recipient just happens to be getting her new bedroom decorated with butterflies! So appropriate...

Now I have completed and sandwiched the next little baby quilt. This quilt is 44" x 44" in size and mostly green, blue and animal print fabrics for a little boy coming into this world in June of this year. I adapted this pattern from one called "Baby Signs" found in The Quilter Magazine, July 2009 edition. It was quite easy to make with only 4 large slightly complicated 9 inch blocks, 9 fussy cut blocks so the top came together quickly. It is quite an interesting design and looks harder than it is.

The back is a solid green animal print. The binding edge will probably be solid green like some of the quilt top squares.

The next step for this little quilt is to decide how to machine quilt it and then proceed with that.
