Pink and Gray Baby Quilt

For those of you who follow my blog, 

you know that the title of this blog is not me.

I rarely make baby color baby quilts.

The brighter the better for me.

The daughter of a dear friend just had a baby

and I struggled with what design to use for the quilt.

I had come up with one design, but was not happy with my

drawing of the parts needed to make it.

Finally, I decided to make a quilt using this design

and use pinks and a gray... the colors of the nursery.  

The right pinks were few and far between in my stash,

so I had to go shopping.

Pink is not my favorite color, but I do like it with gray.

Here is what I made....

This design uses half square triangles and a few squares

and is very easy to make.

I did get one of the HST's turned by the heart

and had to use my seam ripper for that.

Not bad!

This heart kind of hides in the HST's

and I love that.

 

Now to get this quilted!


I'm linking to Design Wall Monday  and Monday Making today.

Happy Quilting!
