Baby Quilt

Oh, a baby shower today--the mother-to-be looked precious and the gifts for babies are so cute. I decided at the last minute I wanted to make a baby quilt. I am one of those people who cannot make a decision on what gifts to buy. I would rather decided on a quilt and make it than go to a store and select a gift.

Since it was to be a quick quilt, I headed to quilt shop to get a cute charm pack or two. The quilt shop was very LOW on cute charm packs. They may be in a back room to accommodate the Internet orders. Anyway, I found this "raccoon" material and thought it was cute. First, we do not know if it is a boy or girl. So my material was generic, I think. The mother-to-be likes purple, the backing was arrow head material and the father-to-be is an outdoor person. I like modern and simple--so this quilt was born.

The pattern is "falling charm" from the Missouri Star BLOCK Idea Book Winter Issue. It measures 42 by 48 inches. I used a modern quilting pattern allover of loops.
