Baby Squares Quilt: Complete

Here it is! The pictures were taken a day before the quilt was given to my coworker, Jon for his brand new baby boy, who was due to arrive 2 days before by baby girl. I hope he likes it!

I tried out diagonal quilting on this for the first time (not stitch-in-the-ditch!) I think it turned out pretty well!

I thought this was kind of appropriate as this was a baby quilt :)

Squares Baby Quilt: Top Complete

My top is complete! It is actually basted and ready to quilt at this point. Here is a picture:

I think it actually turned out pretty well! My failed plan was to add flannel as backing. Well, the flannel was 42.5" wide and this quilt is 43.5" x 43.5". So it will have cotton backing which thankfully was 44" wide. I just hope that my quilting works out. The hope is to do diagonals.

Squares Baby Quilt: Fabrics

I started a new project: a baby quilt for a co-worker that is having a baby boy! I am using this tutorial from the moda bake shop. Here are the fabrics I am using:

Aren't they pretty? This is Meadow Friends Boy Line by Deb Stain for Moda. I am close to being done with the blocks, so hopefully I will post a picture soon!
