Hello, Bear

This might be the "trendiest" baby quilt I've ever made. But I love it. Boy stuff is not my thing, so it's a bit of a stretch to figure out how to blend boy colors, and not look too baby, and not look girly. 

This was a custom order for a baby shower. She wanted triangles, which I had never done before. I ordered this ruler, and it was really easy! It came together so quick (start to finish, two days).

 I started with this "woodland" fabric, because that's the theme of the baby shower, and mixed from there. There were a few more girly fat quarters, but I swapped them out for some stuff from my stash instead.

No, not camo. Those are cows. Which I think is adorable. 

Simple straight quilting on either side of the seam. I went out of my comfort zone and used dark gray this time rather than white. Crazy, I know. 

Glue basted the binding again, and it's so slick! I'm a convert. Rarely will I ever hand bind again. It looks pretty perfect. I use my walking foot and sew from the back side. 

Striped binding. I love the black and white with these colors. 

Tagged and off to the party.

And some bibs to match. Because, I just had to.
