Animal Crackers Quilt



Here is my first completed baby blanket. Isn't it a vision? This crib size blanket took me about a week and a half to finish, and that was with spending a few hours every day on it. It was a bit difficult to match up all of the points and corners, but the triangles are pretty large. This quilt was adapted from Nancy J. Martin's Tippy Triangles pattern. This pattern is available in her book, "Baby's First Quilts." The finished size is approximately 30" x 40". The original design was using red, black, and white fabrics. But, I fell in love with these fabrics. It can make you a bit dizzy to look at too much, but it's perfect for a baby boy. Many of the fabrics are taken from David Walker's line: "Oh Boy." Some are "Freckles," by Ro Gregg.



Keep your eye on this blog. Soon to come: a FREE pattern for a project bag. I have designed a small fabric bag that is perfect for small knitting projects, and I would love to share it. Bare with me, because I have an extremely hectic schedule for the next month. I also have some great gift ideas, which will be coming soon.
