Four Patch Baby Quilt Finish
I had so much time over the Thanksgiving break that I whipped up this simple little baby quilt at Mr. Babyquilts' request for a customer/friend of his. Here in slower than molasses all-by-hand-land, you don't often hear the words "whipped up", but I really did! It only took me about four days to finish it.
I was extra proud that I made it all from stash, except the silky binding. I had just purchased those cute dogs and thought they'd be perfect for a baby boy. Yes, those are the same gray Japanese elephants I used for the baby pants I made last month. I even used some of my precious Heather Ross goldfish bags, just to be nice :) You'll also notice Heather Bailey, Joel Dewberry, Jay McCarroll and of course, Amy Butler making appearances.
The back is Amy Butler Love dots that I had in stash for just such an occasion. I embroidered the year the baby will be born, since I don't know his name yet. Click photo to see embroidery better.
Enjoy!

Oh I love the elephants and the birdies. Nice, just whipped it up, eh? You are amazing!!! xx
Very nice! Well done! You continue to amaze me!
Beautiful! I love that you whipped up a quilt by hand. That would take me months for sure!
I am the grateful mom who received this gorgeous quilt today - definitely a one-of-a kind gift. We are a "blanket family", so we love it. The funny thing is that I kept going on and on with my husband about how much I love the goldfish, so thank you for including them! This quilt will be perfect for my sweet baby boy....I cant wait!
