Kelly's Baby Quilt Blocks

 There are a number of quilts that I need to get quilted

and have not had the mojo to do this.

So, instead, I keep making quilt tops.

One of my daughters' college roommates is expecting

her first child in September,

so a quilt was started for this new one.

 

 

I saw this pattern in the American Quilters magazine and 

thought it would be perfect for a boy.

 

 

 

 As I was cutting the pieces, I decided to make

a small change to the pattern.

Instead of using all one color and making a ring,

I added another color and made it a bit different.

 

These are the blocks I ended up with for this quilt.

I made 20 for a baby quilt size,

shown below.

They are not in any kind of order yet,

just added to the wall as I finished them.

Then, as I often do, I turned my camera and took

a photo on an angle.

WOW!!

I really like this layout!

Here are most of the blocks turned on point.

I am going to remove two of the vertical rows

to make it a bit smaller and cut those

blocks in half for the setting triangles.

Again, the blocks are not in their final order.

 

It will percolate on the wall for a bit,

so I can be sure this is the design I want.

I will play with them to get them arranged

in a pleasing way and get them sewn together.

 

Now, I REALLY need to get a couple of tops quilted!

 

Happy Quilting!
