How about this design?

I am working on the design for the baby quilt. I opted for the more modern design of long stripes instead of the traditional quilt squares.



The dimensions are 40 inches high by 30 inches wide, before I add the solid black binding. Through the magic of Microsoft Paint, this is image is pretty darn close to scale. You can click on the picture to enlarge it.

The quilt will be used in the crib during colder weather. I will be also making two extra, identical quilts to dot around the house so the future daughter can lie on something other than the floor while she plays, and "one more for good measure" for those 3 am accidents that are bound to happen. I learned from the first daughter that when it comes to babies, you must always, always, always have a spare set of bedding!

What do you think? I would love to hear your feedback/comments/opinions/criticisms!

I will be sure to turn this into a tutorial very soon.

  1. That is so pretty! Heck, make another one for me, and I'll hang it on the wall! Or use it to snuggle while watching tv...

  2. I think it's absolutely gorgeous! I love quilts, and I think it's neat that this one combines classic and modern. The colors are great too!

  3. Beautiful quilt! I remember reading when my daughers were babies that black and white are perfect colours for baby things - helps somehow with the development of their vision!! (can't remember how sorry!!)
