5th addition

After the Safe arrival of baby Elijah I had to add another heart to my bro and sister in law's quilt. Hopefully be last one! But they keep saying that! Another beautiful smiley baby boy.

Elijah Quilt

Time for another baby cot quilt. I made it to fit a cot this time...accurately! I saw this design on Pinterest for a baby boy blanket. The nursery for my nephew number 4 is grey - elephant grey! I chose greys and blues for the quilt to match the colour palette of the room. I also used the quilting method to stitch around each square. This is a first for me and again something I saw on Pinterest quilting detail. It looked straight forward enough for my simple skills. I stitched the front with the batting but not the back as I don't like seeing the stitching all the way through the quilt but understand the need to sew in place the batting. I like the final outcome, it should fit baby until he's about 12 years old! the fabric for the binding is moda in midnight blue.
