My sewing club (no really, we'll have a cooler name soon!) is about to do a 3 week quilting "class" using the Charm Square Baby Quilt tutorial from Oh Fransson!. Well, I jumped the gun a bit and made this a week early! I had this Half Moon charm pack and had no clue what I was going to do with it- I just loved the black and white- and some Kona Peacock seemed the perfect compliment for the son of a surfer and a girly girl!
Seriously, how cute are these goons?
As it turns out, my BFF (yup, that's right. bee-eff-eff) since 10th grade, Stea, and her husband (who happened to be my other BFF in high school long before they even started dating!), Paul, had a baby shower this past Sunday for their first little guy, Collin! This is the perfect quilt pattern for something like this- pieced in about an hour (and hour!!) and basted, quilted and bound the next afternoon!
I feel like I barely quilted this one (just two straight lines on either side of the pieced strips and then 1/4" inside each black square and half-square)- unlike Brady's look-a-like quilt, which I quilted til I was blue in the face! However, I do love how fluffy it made it- especially with the big black and white flannel on the back. I didn't take a pic of the finished back, but it had a 4"x4" peacock square label on the back declaring my love for the little shnookums...
SQUEE! I can't wait for Collin to get here so I can snuggle him!!
