not your traditional baby quilt . . .

A close friend was just blessed with a beautiful baby girl.  And because she told the name before her due date, I was able to get a head start on a personalized baby quilt for her.  She was born yesterday morning, and the quilt was already delivered to the hospital room.

The fabrics are mostly from Carnaby Street from Art Gallery Fabrics, with a couple coordinating prints from my stash.

The quilt design is strips pieced together on the diagonal, cut down into rows, and sashing strips added.  The baby name was done with fusible web, and the edges are machine stitched.  The backing is a couple strips of minky from my local fabric shop.

The baby's mama is not much of a pastel person, so she loved these bolder colors and prints, and the grey mixed in.  And the quilt is still girly enough that it won't get claimed by one of her three big brothers.
