#4: Cole's Quilt

 There is something very charming about a simple quilt.  In picture books like Llama, Llama Red Pajama and Bear Feel Sick their quilts are simple square patched quilts, but I love them! 

So for the next baby to be born, I wanted something simple and classic, yet modern.  I saw the truck fabric recently and fell in Love. (Yeah, what's new. I fall in love with fabric all the time.:)  I got fat quarters from three fabrics in that line.  Then I used scraps from my stash for the rest.  Yeah for scraps.

I thought it would go together so quick and easy.  Well it was pretty quick, but easy...not so much.  Remember  the Striped Giraffe Quilt where I added Minki in the blocks and it was not so fun.  Well I had a temporary term of forgetfulness and added Minki within the blocks.  Minki stretches!!!!  It is so hard to keep it even with the other blocks.  Remind me next time I want to add Minki that it ruins my mood when I quilt. :)  But...it turns out so cute!  I'm sure I'll temporally forget again.

 Of course I put Minki on the back, that is easy and for some reason doesn't stretch.  Hmmm.

Personalized Triangle Quilts

 This spring, I was commissioned to make these triangle quilts for brothers.  I had made a triangle quilt like this previously and their mom wanted the same colors. 

Like before, I love how these colors go together.  I also love the modern look of a triangle quilt, especially when there is a pop of white.

 Adding their names to the bottom was a fun touch!

The tops are done in the exact same colors, but the bindings and the backs were in different colors.  I love putting Minki on the back!  It makes the quilt so inviting to cuddle with and I love seeing the quilting pop out on the back.
