A Finish for the Week- Baby Quilts Are the Best

Just this morning I washed and photographed this sweet baby quilt. It is made with a free pattern from Moda Bake Shop and Big Sky by Annie Brady for Moda. It's perfect for a little boy. About a year ago I made the same quilt for another little boy using another color way. You can see that quilt HERE .

I love the backing fabric! I'm sorry I didn't stash a few more yards before it disappeared.  I'm linking up with:

{ Weekend Cookie Baking }

We have a new baby in the family. A sweet little boy. I spent some time making cookies this past weekend. This cookie decorating thing is still an ongoing experiment. Some aspects of the decorating process are coming easier to me than others. I definitely have to work on my writing skills.

PS: See the little green heart with yellow polkadots in the front? I dropped it and there's a dent. I didn't catch it before I took the photos. I did switch it with another heart. Just buried that one way underneath the others. {shhhhh}

{Quilt for Baby Smith}

The Granny Square Baby Quilt is finished, well, except for the quilt label. I put the last stitches in the binding at 5:30pm, and by 5:35pm it was in the wash with a Shout Color Catcher. Then in 30 minutes, on the dryer's high setting, she was ready...all warm and crinkly. I love seeing a completed quilt when it comes out of the dryer. 

 The next step is making the quilt label. I have to plan it out between today and Saturday, then get it sewn on.

I really like the colors in these fabrics, the line is  Salt Air by Cosmo Cricket. I hope little baby Smith loves this quilt.
