In November, we will become aunt and uncle all over again. To welcome our new nephew, I made this baby quilt in the Xquisite pattern. The parents had already picked out themed nursery bedding from a retailer, so I made this stroller quilt for them to use outside the home...this is a winter baby and he's gonna need some extra warmth!
I mixed in some other prints. Using those 4 squares of American Jane blue mono pez and blue rulers caused a near-panic attack and an online fabric shopping spree. I'm sorry, I've got it bad for AJ fabrics...the older, the better!
Final measurements: 30"x38". When he gets bigger I'll have to make a bigger quilt, but this will be perfect for tucking into a stroller or draggin' around.
PS: A little public service announcement...Target has the DVD of Pride&Prejudice (yes, the Colin Firth one) for $13.99. My husband hates it but he cut off our cable so I guess he will have to deal with it ;) Colin Firth in all his Mr. Darcy glory for $13.99...SIGN ME UP!

ReplyDeleteAs for your husband, he deserves a whole Darcy-filled night, hit him up with Bridget Jones after Pride and Prejudice ;o)
So, so sweet. Love the border. Nice job, chica!
ReplyDeleteI really like the wide border! Great look, especially with the bold red & white dotty fabric!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt! Sweetwater is my next Designer of the Month series designer. I can't wait to get started on my Himetown quilt,
ReplyDeleteLove it! I want to make a Hometown quilt so badly. I need to save up, though.
ReplyDeleteColin Firth is fabulous as Mr. Darcy. I also love the quilt so cute for a baby and my daughter loves all of her quilts and blankets. In her mind there are never enough blankets.
ReplyDeleteCute quilt! I love the look of those tiny corner triangles when all of the blocks are lined up.
ReplyDeleteMary, that fabric is awesome! Was the name you used the name of the fabric or the pattern...? I love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! Love seeing boy quilts that aren't a bunch of blues. Great fabric choices!
ReplyDeleteI love the Xquisite block! I recently made my new granddaughter a quilt with the same block, using black and white at Mommy's request!! It's a really striking block, and great for showcasing vibrant fabric. So glad to see it used for another baby quilt
ReplyDeleteI love the Xquisite block quilt. I am playing with the A to Z bloggers, and we're blogging using every letter in the alphabet. Today was the letter X.
