Quilt for Baby P

Quilt for Baby P

Good morning!  Today I decided to show off the quilt I made for my friends who had a baby girl this last November.  I was working on the Minecraft quilt in my hotel room in Philadelphia when I heard they were expecting.  I was already planning the baby quilt in my head that night!

The quilt is based off a pattern in the book Fast Fat Quarter Baby Quilts.  I found the cute frog border/backing fabric on an evening outing to Hobby Lobby in Rochester.  Once I found the base fabric, I picked out some fat quarters I had in my stash that went well with the fabric.  I made sure to use gender-neutral colors, just in case. :) I decided to do a yellow background color since white seemed too much against the black border/backing.  I used the same frog fabric for the binding.  Once the quilt was all put together, I had it long-armed at my local quilt store as I figured that would hold up better over time.

I had to laugh, every time I look through my pictures to find a new quilt to feature, all I'm finding is pictures of the quilt top, not the finished product.  I get so excited to show off the finished quilt top to my mom (I always text or email her once I've finished something), I never think to take a picture when it's all done.   So once again, you'll have to just enjoy this quilt top, pre-binding, pre-quilting.  But you get the idea :)
