My first quilt pattern!

Filed under: Quilting — Cyndi at 6:39 pm on Thursday, February 22, 2007

After my first quilt class, I couldn’t help but do some web surfing. I came across the Fat Quarter Shop, where I found a kit for what is possibly the cutest baby quilt ever. (it comes in pink too!)

A good friend of mine is having her first baby, a boy, in May. I decided after knitting my first baby blanket that I would never knit one again, so this little guy is getting a quilt instead.

My kit came in the mail today…

So cute! And the pattern looks really easy.  This will give me some practice cutting and piecing before my next quilting class.

Now the big question - do I order the pink quilt kit too? At the rate my friends are having babies, one of them is bound to have a girl sooner or later (probably sooner!). And I do so love the colors in the pink kit.

Oooooh, the quilt is adorable! I can’t wait to see the one you make.
Didn’t you say that tons of your friends are pregnant? I’d say order the pink one too. =)

another vote for the pink. and YES, sewing a baby quilt sounds much more appealing than knitting up a blanket. i’m definately going to browse around for a kit too, sounds like a good starting point for a beginner project. thanks for the inspiration! =)

how adorable! may as well get the pink one -you could always keep it for yourself as a lap blanket if no one has girls!

Holy crap. You’ve done so much in the past month. Newsgator must be hiccuping because it hasn’t picked up any of your feeds for at least two months! I thought you just had gone on a break. Anyways, good to meet you this weekend! =)

I love the blue of your quilt. That should be a good starter quilt. The pink is pretty too. I vote yes. You can never have too much fabric or yarn!
