super quick + easy baby quilt

...i finished up a baby quilt that lived up to it's name of "super quick + easy". it was a project from "last minute patchwork and quilted gifts", and it took me less than an hour to complete. most certainly the fastest baby blanket i've ever made, and i love how it turned out - just like the photograph in the book, minus the sweet, sleeping baby (i resisted the urge to sneak into ben's room and put it on him).

i opted for two blue and white dot fabrics, as they seemed to go together really well and looked just right for a newborn baby boy.










the trickiest part of the project was figuring out which stitch to use. the directions made mention to satin stitch oval, but i couldn't find this option on my machine, so i substituted it with the cresent stitch










this quilt reminded me of the tie quilts my grandmother had in abundance around her house - the overall project was simple + sweet. i made a total of three using the same two fabrics - two for little boys recently born, and one to list on etsy. i have some vintage pink fabric that would work well for this project that i may use in the future. my first project from "last-minute patchwork and quilted gifts" went so well i'm looking forward to the next few.
