Our niece Katie is going to make our family a little bit bigger next month – she’s having a baby boy! Katie is a roller derby queen who loves donuts, sriracha, and has a great sense of humor. Which will come in handy in the delivery room – you see, the kids in our family have noggins the size of bowling balls. You find yourself talking your 5 year old out of being a fireman for Halloween because you know the helmet on the department store costume doesn’t have a ghost of a chance fitting on his head. On the plus side – we do make spectacularly good lookin’ kids! What was I talking about? Oh yeah – Katie (and Patrick) are having a baby – and I made this quilt to celebrate the happy occasion!
I started by working on the layout in Illustrator – playing around with the various sizes and color of the blocks.
Next, I scanned the fabrics in Photoshop to get an idea of what the finished product would look like. Then it was a matter of cutting the fabric and sewing the quilt top together! This quilt measures 36″ x 42″.
Very nice! And it’ll come in handy. Hope it will stand up to LOTS of washings too… 🙂
Thank you! It’s tied with embroidery thread so it should hold up.
