Baby Quilt!

This is the second baby quilt I have made for a friend.

The colors of her nursery are grey and yellow.  

She is having a sweet little boy.

I knew I wanted the quilt to match the nursery but it was a challenge at first to find enough fabrics that would coordinate.  Luckily, JoAnn had packages of 5x5 squares and a roll of strips in various patterns and colors of grey, white, yellow, and black.

Normally my favorite part of making a quilt is to pick out the fabrics, this time I was thankful they had packages of the colors I needed.

It also made putting the quilt together much easier because they were pre-cut.

I went with a pretty simple quilt pattern with stripes and circles. 

Boy quilts are so much harder! I am always drawn to the flowers and ruffles of little girl things.

I used the packages of fabrics from JoAnn and added some coordinating fabrics from my scraps.

Scraps are the best!

I appliqued the circles on my machine.

Here is the finished quilt!

I took the quilt to the quilt lady that machine quilted it with this pattern.

I love how it turned out! I went with a grey thread so it would show up and display the pattern.

This is the label and backing fabric.

I loved planning and putting this quilt together (with my mom's help of course) for my sweet friend.

It has been such a joy to watch her through this special time in her life.  I CANNOT wait to meet this precious boy that has been prayed for, he is going to be so loved.
