I have 2 girlfriends and once sister all having babies in July! One of my friends knows that she is having a little boy so I've made this quilt for her. She's not really a cutesy or preppy type so I tried to pick fabrics that were a little "cool" and hip!
The pattern is "Little Man" from
Camille Roskelley's book
Simplify. And the fabrics are Michael Miller.
I totally
stole was inspired by the way
by-a-thread quilted her "Little Man" quilt. I love the alternated wavy and straight lines.
So back when I was trying to decide on the gray I had forgotten about that blue polka dot border. I'm glad I went with the gray, it stands out much more than the blue would have I think.
Gray polka dots for the binding!
And of course I pieced my label in the back. Once the little guy is born I'll add his name and info onto it! I don't have much else to say about this one. The pattern was well written and easy to follow! It was a fun quick quilt!
