I am entering my Nautical Snack Time quilt. I did the Baby size which measures out a 37" by 48" which puts me in the Small Category in the festival.
My cousin had requested a baby quilt for her little boy in green and blue. She said she used whales in his room so when I found Michael Miller's The Littles line. I knew it would be perfect for her. I didn't know it would be perfect for this quilt at first. Here was my first block where I realized what is so important to this pattern:
Do you see it? It's a great block, beautiful fabrics, but there is no contrast and you lose that winding effect the other blocks had. And THAT is when I realized I had my quilt for my cousin.
I did simple straight line quilting on it so it would remain snuggly for the little one.
And a chevron border fabric for some fun.
The back was a nice stash buster of some fabric that I love, but the patterns are too large to cut small!

Super cute! Love the chevron binding and the back as well! Nice work!
I truly do love this quilt, I think it is the colors against the white background, it is just so pretty!
Very cool - good idea about figuring out the quilt with a test block!
This is so cute, and I love the fabrics you picked for the back!
What a very cool quilt - I particularly like your black and white binding. :) This reminds me of mint chocolate chip ice cream!
Really cute quilt, cute fabrics for a boy and an intriguing block. I have to keep the pattern in mind.
Such an awesome quilt! The colors are very striking and I love the alternating green and navy in each block. Great binding choice as well!
Awesome quilt!
