Boy Baby Quilts

Time for a couple boy baby quilts.   Last August, I found this cute fox fabric and knew it would be perfect for a baby boy.  I went with my standard colorblock quilt (seen here and here)

I think this pattern is so perfect for showcasing the fabric, shows it in big pieces.  My oldest daughter, Paige, has friends who are expecting a boy-girl set of twins this summer.  She is going to give this fox quilt along with the Happy Home version for the babies.  I think they will be perfect quilts for these twins, same pattern but in gender specific fabric.  I am so excited.

Another thing about this pattern, it goes quickly so if you need a quick baby quilt, this is the one for you.  Here is the pattern I purchased and later I found a free tutorial, so take your pick

The back of the quilt, which was leftover backing from this quilt I made for Erin.  It always makes me so happy to use what I say is "free" fabric.

One more look at this quilt

I had fabric leftover and I couldn't let it go to waste, so I made my own design.

This one really shows off the fox fabric and I had to dig deep into my scraps to come up with enough fabric to finish this quilt.  Many of my scraps have a floral more feminine feel!

A look at the quilting:

Now here is what happens when you are taping your quilts to the porch rail and the tape gives way

These quilts were pieced the week of Christmas when I did the last three baby quilts.  I have a few more baby quilts to put on the blog also.  The last set are some I made after we lost my husband's brother.  Baby quilts are such a happy project to make and after the loss, they were a good get back to sewing project for me.
