Last summer new neighbors, who just so happen to share many of the same interests as Jon and me, moved in. I never in a million years dreamed that someone who is almost as crazy about knitting and quilting as I am would move in next door. It boggles my mind! It's so much fun to have impromptu craft nights in each other's home after a long day at work.
They're expecting their first son later this fall, so I made him a baby quilt for his new nursery. The quilt is 34"x52" and is made up of 70 log cabin blocks on point. I shrunk this pattern down to size and pulled together a palette of fabrics that should hopefully match the nursery.
Koko had to get comfy with the quilt before I could wrap it up for the shower. She's looking forward to having a new playmate next door. She loves staring at babies!
I quilted this with dense stippling and I'm so impressed with the crinkle factor of the cotton batting I used.
The quilt is bound and backed with some fun alphabet fabric. The librarian in me loves using text prints for babies.
oh i love this quilt! i've never seen log cabin done in this manner before! i might have to play around with this with some yarn!!
