Hi friends! Today I'm excited to share a sweet little baby quilt that I made recently.
I made this quilt for one of my nieces who just had the most darling baby boy!
Her mom told me she likes "earthy" colors so I picked out this color palette of
blues, greens, blacks, browns, and oranges. The prints are masculine and
geometric. There are even some wovens and a chambray to add a little texture.
All of the fabrics came from my stash! I love when I can do that!
I used my Every Which Way pattern, which was one of the very first patterns I ever designed!
It needed an update though, so I rewrote the instructions, fixed the diagrams and added
a second size option! Feels so good to offer a higher quality pattern
(I hate to have anything less than the best for you guys!)
This is a beginner-friendly pattern.
I used my stash for this one but the instructions are fat-eighth and fat-quarter friendly.
I've made a few Every Which Way quilts over the years.
It's one of my favorite boy patterns but could be cute for a girl too!
One of my favorite things about this quilt is that the tan and white woven
plaid fabric on the back was my grandmother's fabric. So that means the baby will
be snuggled in fabric from his great, great-grandmother! Isn't that sweet!?!
It was quilted by my girl, Jen Ostler of Dry Creek Quilting.
She used the Domestic Squared Panto by Leisha Farnsworth.
I love the modern feel of it and liked that it went along with the angle of the arrowheads.
Jen always includes a hidden object in the quilting, which I think is such
a fun, personal touch. This time it was a little star. Can you see it below?
I always like to attach one of the simple labels I get from Ever Emblem.
They're so easy to sew into the binding so I don't have an excuse to not label my quilts!
I get the 2" cotton, fold-over, sew-in labels. If you want to get some for yourself,
you will just have to pick one of their basic cotton labels and customize it from there.
This was a really fun make and I hope my niece loves it!
I hope to make another one soon because
I've given all of my Every Which Way quilts away!
If you'd like to grab the paper version of the updated Every Which Way pattern
That's it for now. I'd love to hear what you think of this simple baby quilt.
What do you think of these colors for a baby boy?
Thank you for stopping by today!
