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.
