Bramble Patch Baby Quilt Finish

 Earlier this summer our girl had asked me to make a quilt to celebrate the birth of a dear friend's first baby. When I saw the Bramble Patch Collection, I thought that might fit the bill for a Peter Rabbit inspired nursery theme. I started with a Layer Cake, but then bought fat quarters.

I chose to alternate 6" squares with pinwheels

I love these soft, sweet prints

I found his soft pink/peach minky at Hobby Lobby and thought it would be a sweet backing

Oliver's always on my heels and curious about everything

Jackie has retired and her daughter Sandy - who teaches at the local private school - is picking up where Jackie left off and she quilted this sweet panto called Fronds in a linen colored thread

I bound it with a yellow from the collection

At 40 x 50, I hope this quilt will be loved by this precious baby girl 

Skeet was off on an adventure with DH and he was happy to turn his quilt modeling duties over to Oliver. 😉

New Baby Quilt Project

 Our girl asked me to make a quilt for a sweet friend expecting her first baby. She said they are decorating in a soft color palette, reminiscent of Peter Rabbit. I have a lot of fabric, but for the most part, pastels are  lacking so when I saw this Bramble Patch collection I thought it would be perfect. I initially bought a Layer Cake

Such sweet prints!

but once I settled on a design, I purchased a fat quarter pack on a 30% off sale as well as a few different cuts to finish things off. I cut everything into 5" squares in order to make the best use of the Layer Cake and I am alternating them with pinwheels. I hope it turns out the way I am picturing it. 

And yes, I'm going to have lots of leftovers, but that's a good thing because I think there a few more baby quilts hiding in here

But for the time being, pinwheel-ing continues!
