On the design wall... something for baby


Every now and again clever son and his lovely girlfriend need a baby boy quilt gift.  I wonder who they contact for that?  The request was for safari animals and blue, green and brown or combinations of that sort and apparently this rug is to be in the baby's room.  So I got busy.  I ordered a few things like the crazy brown print (something from Timeless Treasures)  and a few prints from the line, Life in the Jungle by Doohikey Designs for Riley Blake. I think the brown print really works.  It screams safari without being too much.  I used quite a few different greens from my stash.  Oh.  The design is sort of Lemon Squares from Fresh Lemon Quilts.  Not exactly but sort of.   I love doing squares in squares for baby quilts.  And I will be stitching the binding on in front of the TV tonight.  Baby quilts are fast!

Linking up with Judy's Design Wall Monday!

  2. I agree with you on that Brown print--it sure adds a lot. I'm making a baby quilt for my daughter's friend just now too :-)
