Earlier this year I was lucky to be chosen for pattern testing of the Elroy Quilt by Megan of Modern Moon Quilt Studio. I chose to make only four blocks which is perfect for a baby quilt. The simple reason for this was that my nephew and his wife were expecting a baby boy. Now the baby is here and I have sent the quilt to the new owner.
The pattern is a modern geometric design. I used batiks from Island Batik for the front. I love the bright and bold colors!
I quilted it with FMQ in a flame design on my domestic sewing machine using variegated Aurifil thread in color #4652.
The backing is a fun print with birds and leaves, called Birchtree Lane from Connecting Threads. It is a great fabric for the baby boy to focus on when he gets a little bit older.
The quilt went through a wash/dryer cycle which made it nice and cuddly. Perfect for a newborn baby boy!
Keep quilting!
