remember when i
mentioned my friend that was having her second boy but 8th child?
well i finished the quilt top for her little boy. and well now i wish i was having...no what the...no i didn't just think that! right? :O
moving along...
i took my instructions of hopscotch and reversed it. i started with my star blocks...
but as i finished the stars i realized that i had a butt load of scraps left over in my
simply color and
simply style piles and wouldn't it be nice to actually use up some of those?? anyways, so that i could make a small dent into my scrap pile, i decided instead of doing the square in square block to just cut up my scraps and make a 9 patch with 4" blocks in their places.
and well then i got this.
and what started off as my
hopscotch quilt pattern ended up looking like a cross between a scrappy hopscotch and
rachel's moda bake shop book quilt.
we make a nice cross between the two quilts do we not? :) holla
rachel!
as i work with both of my lines, i realize that they go quite nicely together. and well i kind of hope that this little guy and his many siblings like it as much as we like it over here.
whatever the case...it made me baby hungry. for like a second. don't tell anyone.
we'll talk soon.

beautiful! Cute tiny baby quilts always make me have baby on the brain
WOW! So beautiful. LOL about being baby hungry... <3 Cute quilts can do that to you!
great idea! love it!
I just love your quilt!!! Your hopscotch pattern is a favorite of mine (I think of you when I look at my finished quilt). But I am thinking we might need another one ... hmm.
Both of your fabric lines are gorgeous Vanessa!!
Ooh, I LOVE this quilt! Scrappy background with white stars was a stroke of genius. And I know what you mean about getting a twinge of baby lust when others are expecting... Even if you KNOW you don't want another, still... ;-)
I LOVE this quilt! The bright colours and white stars work a treat together. This baby will be so well over. We also have 8 children, two sons and six beautiful daughters. There's always room for another....if age permits
Vanessa,
I have always loved you and your blog but dear heavens... I am not a fan of the chevron header! There is cheveron, chevron, chevron EVERYWHERE I look! Who ever decided this was a good idea? It gives me a headace. Please, use your influence to end this nauseating trend!!!
It's a very cute quilt.
And . . . I like your header. The movement. Diffrent strokes for different strokes . . .
Yep. Nothing wrong with a good chevron. And your quilt is heavenly. I think I'll make that version rather than the original. Maybe I'll get to them both one day. One can always hope!
this is gorgeous. I love the idea of reversing the pattern like that.
gorgeous quilt!
I love this quilt - you did a beautiful job combining two quilt patterns into one. It's just gorgeous.
What a great idea! It looks great.
He is one lucky boy!! I love the colors you used in it!
SO CUTE!! I need some of your fabric!!!
