Lots of my friends and family are having baby boys this winter. I’ve made quite a few little boy quilts the past two months. The latest is a little different than the log cabin quilts I’ve been making.
Of course the fabric is elephants! The line is called “Bungle Jungle.” I love the primary colors. Each sashing strip is from a line by Jenn Ski that I just had in my stash. The binding is a polka dot on blue by Connecting Threads. The finished quilt measures 42 x 46.
I was able to pick up some matching backing fabric at a great price at one of the many Black Friday sales events.
I used the seams for a guide and quilted a 1/4” inside all the seams. I like the look of the straight lines across the backing.
Who couldn’t use a ginormous bottle of wine and cute baby blanket to celebrate the birth of baby boy #2????
My daughters sang in church this past Sunday. Bea stood by Esther even though that meant she had to stand with the preschoolers (which she wasn’t thrilled about because she is in first grade, don’t forget!).
Thanks for reading and enjoy the rest of your day! Linking up to Tuesday at the Table and Freemotion by the River.
What a great blog you have! And what an adorable quilt!
ReplyDeleteWow, everything is new around here! Great quilt btw!- it made me think of the song 'Jungle Drum' by Emiliana Torrini. Maybe it was all the cute elephants and the name of the fabrics? I heart the fresh look of straight line quilting, too.
