Baby Bricks Quilt

This quilt is a gift for some college friends of ours who just had their first baby a few weeks ago.  I'm a little late in sending it, but better late than never, right?

I'm really liking the idea of square baby quilts right now, so don't be surprised if you see more of them from me in the future.  I forgot to measure it before I put it in the mail, but I think it's about 38" x 38."

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you have a great weekend.  I'm doing a 5K tomorrow...  I hope I don't pass out from the heat!  It's already so hot in southern New Mexico! ;)

Bricks Quilt

This is my second post today.  I've gone nuts!  I am actually going out of town, and I just can't wait until I come back to share this quilt.

I was inspired by the wall behind our house.

See the resemblance?

I love, love, love this one!  It was so easy to put together, and the fabrics just make me happy!  Most of these are Riley Blake fabrics from the Summer Song and Rainy Days and Mondays lines.  I think Riley Blake fabrics comprise 50% of my stash right now!  

The back is pieced from strips of fabric used in the front.  I think this quilt is fully reversible.  I quilted it in horizontal straight lines to add to the linear effect of the bricks.  

I hope you have a great week!

Binding Day

I finished two quilt tops yesterday! Woo hoo!  One of them has already been quilted, and I don't think I can  bear to stay inside today to quilt the other one.  I think I'll just sit outside and attach some binding...  

Happy Tuesday!
