plaid quilt, blanket, and baby boy gifts (and a giveaway!)

plaid quilt, blanket, and baby toy gifts

It’s been awhile since I threw my sister her shower, but I lost these pics and just recently located them hidden in some random folder.

Ha! So here you go-here’s the stuff I made for my seester’s baby! (well, really her.)

(and squeee I am visiting her and baby Benson right now!)

The colors she chose for the nursery were orange, grey, and navy.

I had pinned this quilt awhile ago and straight up copied it, I loved it so much.

Super simple patchwork squares, in a gingham pattern.

The fabrics for the front are all from The Ribbon Retreat Bella Solids-the binding is Amelia Apricot, and the squares are Porcelain, Slate, and Zen Grey.

you can see the backing a little in the next pic-I took really shoddy pics of this quilt-sorry!

the backing is from my local quilt shop, The Nimble Thimble, and it’s a grey crosshatch by Robert Kaufman.

I walked into the shop thinking “wow it’d really be great if they had a light grey crosshatch fabric” and no joke, a bolt of this was sitting 4 steps from the door, calling to me!

It was fabric karma!

try to ignore my wonky stitching in the ditch.

I also made a quick blanket for her using my pretty easy blanket tutorial.

I found out later that minky blankets are highly prized in her husbands family, so I’ll just high five myself right now.

*awkward*

the plaid is also from the Ribbon Retreat, but not available anymore it looks like…from the Vintage Verona line.

the orange minky is from this shop-the owner was sweet enough to let me know that the orange was a nice deep orange, not a TRAFFIC CONE IN YOUR FACE orange.

She was right loL! it is a nice pumpkin orange!
