baby gift

one of my all time favorite craft projects are little quilts for little ones. and beeing the age i am i have lots of friends expecting their first child or in some cases even their second one. what a lucky person i am. i have recently finished this dear little quilt.

this is a project i have had in mind since i knew that a special little one was on his - yes the parents-to-be couldn't wait to know - way. i wanted it to be a quilt not too babyish. something he might still want to cuddle with when he gets older.

in my attempt to achieve this i decided not to use any overly babyish prints. that was the plan. i fainally ended up with a babyish front and a more mature backing.

and i just had to make the bias myself.
