I have a baby brother; Jaime, I am 11 years older than he is. And he had a baby. I was so excited, so thrill, I wanted to make him a baby quilt. Jaime and his wife Marion don't like baby colors. and I think dark colors are to strong for babys so I played with what I had and I came up with this:
It had to be masculine my brother said, I think I did it because he has been using it for a whole year now. I hope the next baby is a girl,as I will go crazy with pinks.
Thanks for stopping by, leave me a comment and enjoy the festival
Stunning quilt! I'm usually not a big fan of neutrals, but your addition of the black plaids and calicoes really make this quilt pop. I'm going to remember that. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat ave beautiful quilt - I love the prairie points you have added.
ReplyDeleteWonderful beautiful work !
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a boy quilt. Love the style and prairie points.
ReplyDeleteI like this a lot. I tend to use just one color of sashing, but your use of several colors and fabrics really makes this quilt beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI think you achieved your goal! It's a great quilt, and I love all the neutral colors!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous - the color choices are just perfect, even in neutrals this quilt pops! I'm 11 years older than my brother, too!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful project! I think it makes for a great boy quilt. I especially love those triangle points used as a inner border.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt! You did such a great job!
ReplyDeleteThat is one top-notch baby quilt. Lucky nephew he is.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very unusual baby quilt, and I like the fabrics a lot. I also think it's nice that you designed a quilt that you thought your brother and his wife would like, and they obviously did.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I would never have thought of this as a baby quilt, but I'm so glad it was a big hit with your brother and his new little one! Thank you so much for stopping by Mountain Musings and leaving a comment on my quilt. I enjoyed looking around your blog.
