This isn't a new quilt, but it IS a recent one (last month I think...) and it is my favorite I've made so far. I'm a big fan of making baby quilts and this one is no exception. My inspiration for this one was Alissa's great Spark's baby quilt tutorial (found here).
Fabric: Magenta Bird Tree by Saffron Craig
Size: 40 1/2" x 54"
I'm not usually a fan of pink, but I love the combination of pink, green and purple in this quilt. I am also a HUGE fan of Saffron Craig's fabrics and I thought they lent themselves perfectly to this style of quilt. I was a bit dubious about using black in a baby quilt, but I love the effect it has bordering the squares.
I quilted it along the black sashing in black thread, and then hand-stitched around each of the centre squares.
Thanks for checking out my small space in quilty-bloggy land!
happy stitching,
Jess

What a striking, graphic quilt -- sure to catch baby's eye. Great colors and nice mix of hand and machine quilting.
