Baby Quilt "August Dawn" in progress -- Posted by Lyn
I got inspired to make a baby quilt for a friend of mine who just had a baby. Since I want it to go together quickly, I decided to try something easy, and yet still new to me. I'm basing my 'design' - if it even merits that term - on this easy strip quilt over at Quiltville. Here are the fabrics I'm using:
I basically went trolling through my stash for pinks, reds, oranges, and related colors. There are a couple of purples and reds and a bit of black and gold in there too.
There are two fabrics from Sea Pebbles that I'm using in this quilt and one from RLJA. Working name for this quilt: "August Dawn" since the baby was born in August.
Updated to reflect that I was wrong about which baby quilt I was linking the fabrics in this one to. Oops.
