I've updated my Etsy Store tonight with a new quilt addition - pieced using a combination of fabrics from Monaluna Circa 50 by Birch Fabrics, and Cloud9 Organics - Beyond the Sea by Michelle Engel Bencsko.
This was a fun and relatively easy sewing project after the intense piecing of the Lady of the Lake Quilt followed by the gentle voile wrangling of the Little Folks Baby Quilt.
Of course, a fun little boy's quilt is not complete without a colorful and pieced quilt back (with near perfect alignment!):
The finished quilt measures 40 inches x 48 inches; a very manageable size for little boys, allowing them to adjust, carry and drag the quilt as needed, from bed, to couch, as picnic blanket, cubby house shelter or wherever else their imagination may take it.

That's gorgeous. I wish I'd found your quilts when my kids were babies. I guess the whole internet quilt phenomenon hadn't taken off by then.
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous! I love that the back is as beautiful as the front.
ReplyDeleteLove love love! Amazing colours, especially with the pops of red. And I just adore the back!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is adorable. Some little boy is going to be very happy. Very fun backing and the binding stripes are perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove it! The back is especially great.
ReplyDeletebeautiful
ReplyDeleteI'm loving that back and binding !
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect quilt for a little boy! I love the back just as much as the front...and I'm very impressed with your alignment! That is one thing I always struggle with.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun finish! Your quilts always rock! I love how you did the back.
ReplyDeletei love it!!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing that with just the right fabric just a simple block quilt seems the perfect thing to do. You get to have a wide view of the fabrics and the way the go together. Anything more seems to just distract you away from all you really need.
ReplyDeleteoh, i love that binding. what a great quilt, sometime simple is the best.
ReplyDeleteWow - gorgeous! I love those Cloud 9 fabrics and especially love your stripey binding!
ReplyDeleteGreat back! It is the perfect size, perfect for the cot and for snuggling under the lounge x
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt. Plus I love the inclusion of your tag! Really great idea that I might just have to steal.
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous 2-in-1 quilt Rita.
ReplyDeleteI love that quilt! The colors are awesome and the back is very playful. Awesome job.
ReplyDeleteWow Rita - the back it almost more beautiful than the front! Well done.
ReplyDeleteLovely as always!! It turned out great. Do you make your own tag that is in the corner? And if you do what do you use to make it?
