In about another month, I will welcome my 6th grandson. So excited! I made him a contemporary crib size quilt with some navy blue as requested by his mommy.
The border fabrics were extra.
As were the backing and binding. I love to split the backing piece and add a strip down the middle.
Several of these modern prints were directional. Yellow Brick Road really doesn't account for directional, so I usually just pick the dominate print like the blue bubbles to go all one direction.
And there it is . . .
Held up by this cute man and my finger. I just noticed that his down under pots match this quilt.
Remember when I posted this quilt in progress a couple of weeks ago?
It was for my DIL's sister's new baby boy. Yep, boy cousins with similar quilts and birth days just a few months apart.
And matching quilt backs. I'll bet they will be best buds, too.
Laurel,
ReplyDeleteI love to see the quilts that you make for your family, they are all so wonderful. Do you know anything about preserving old quilts? We recently inherited a beautiful quilt that my husbands great grandmother made. It is in pretty rough shape so we don't want to use it but I don't know the best way to store it or display it. Let me know if you have any ideas or can direct me with where to look. Thanks - Kaleena
I'm a bit of a loss about your question. I think if you were to go on the internet or even to a quilt store, your might get some hints and help. Thank you for your nice comments.
