Default The start of my first quilt...

I guess mine is not traditional, more modern but it is a strip pattern for a baby blanket. I hope to at least get the quilt top done before my surgery next week.

What do you think? I just loved the colors of Moda Fabric, It's a Hoot, but I added some other fabric to it. Oh and I did move some after this because the pattern got off at the top. Should end up being around 35"x35", I hope.

That black stripe really accents the bird print, and your colors all tie together so nicely. I have noticed more and more that the babies I see have blankets that are not traditional baby colors and styles -- they are so much more "mod" these days.

Congratulations! We will enjoy seeing a pictures when it is completely finished.

The nursery is different shades of pink but I just couldn't find different pinks that I liked and just really loved these colors. It is more of a carry in the car, play blanket. It is for a friend.

Really cute, but I would make it bigger than 35 x 35. Once baby starts scooting, then will be off of it. I always make mine at least 48 x 48.
