This is a baby quilt for my first grandchild (hooray!) - a boy - who was born 3 weeks early so it was a bit of a rush at the end because my decision making skills (what pattern, what fabric etc) make me a very slow quilter.
It is a buffalo check.

Fabric I used:
Comfort & Joy - Ore the Fields – Cloud
Comfort & Joy - Ore the Fields – Teal
The white has a small horizontal fleck which matches the green and purple on the cloud fabric and I used if for the border too. The backing is Moda Moody Bloom Mochi Linen Rainbow. The binding is a plain cotton the same colour as the dark on the Teal.

The colour of Cloud is brighter than in the photo of the quilt and the green binding is lighter than the photo. I used a border so the binding didn’t sit right next to the teal as I thought it would just sort of blend in, not in a good way.
I quilted it with a straight stitch both sides of the ditch. I am fairly pleased with the end product. However, I think I am heading away from structured quilts.
