::Spanking New Baby Quilt::

May 19, 2012 By Katie

Baby shower (and baby) up and coming.  The baby, boy or girl, unknown.  My friend, like I, is one of the few that waits it out and like me she is likely to receive a load of yellow.

But no yellow by me.  Baby quilt here I come, or perhaps a whole cloth quilt is time runs out.

Of course the favorite bit for me is combining fabric.  If I had the room, not only would I be surrounded by padded (design) walls, but inspiring piles of fabric combinations.

So I’m thinking of messing with Magic Number Blocks since the deadline is looming.  Magic Numbers are a block building technique we touch on in Quilting Modern.

I hope to piece a few blocks in Magic Number fashion, but instead of recreating the block over and over like I did here for Scrappy Sunshine, I’m thinking to frame them in solids to save time.

Off to run and then work, but Sunday…sew, sew, sew!

    I love the stack of green – all my non-gender-specific baby gear was in greens, oranges, and yellows.

    I didn’t find out what gender babies I was having either, until my youngest. I just wanted to know which boxes of clothes I could get rid of – I had 13 boxes of baby/kids clothes by then.

    I like reds greys, blue/ green for “unknow” baby quilts & sometime wait till the babies born for the binding to add a bit of girly colour. But then I suppose it cant be a baby shower present! Love your green & owl selection X
