Default "Summer Road Trip" Baby Boy Quilt

I learned a tough lesson about the wiley ways of bias edges with this one, but persevered and won. Note to self: Starch is your friend, and measuring the center of the quilt for borders is not always a waste of time.

Behold - the Incredible Walking Quilt, and then spare blocks added to the back.

This is really beautiful! Thanks for sharing! I'm about to start a baby boy quilt and this has given me some nice ideas.

It looks great! They tube quilt tutorial looks so simple and the design opportunities look so inviting. They don't mention the pesky bias edges or FMQing over all the seam allowances that meet at the corners. Great job on conquering your quilt.
