A few baby quilts

Isabella's teacher was expecting a baby boy just after the school year ended.  So for end of year teacher gift I made her a baby quilt.  Bella helped pick out the pattern.  She liked the idea of some nautical fabrics.  Because we moved at the beginning of June, I tried to keep this one pretty simple.

The fabric is by Dear Stella for the most part.  I am always a sucker for binding with stripes.

The next baby boy quilt was for some dear friends who had a baby boy also in June.  The daddy is a big VW bus enthusiast.  I knew Heather Ross did some fabric and pj's, so I scoured etsy until I found some.  Then I took my time trying to decide on what to do, I didn't have a lot of the fabric, so in order to maximize I did a square withing a square.  I wanted to give it a read beachy feel. 

I pulled colors from the vans and used those as my outer squares.  I went with a minkee backing in a sand color.  I also used four squares on the front with the minkee.  The mom and dad loved it, which is what I was aiming for.  

Wheels!

This is a simple baby quilt made from Riley Blake's wheels line.  It is so cute and boyish.  Nate needed a baby gift for someone he works with and so I put together this  I also added a few soft blocks for the baby to squish around.  I just did a big stipple for the quilting, it went together really fast and I am really pleased with the result.

I have quite a project list building right now.  I am going to try to start and finish each one with minimal overlap.  Overlap is what gets me in trouble and causes UFO's.  I am behind on my Pinwheel party quilt-a-long, but have plans to really get going on that next week.
