Our nephew and his wife are market gardeners and are expecting their first child in December. This is the quilt I gave them for their shower this past weekend. I sure hope they weren't expecting something in "baby" colours.

Lovely quilt! I've been collecting fabrics for something along the same lines.

That is so cute! The baby will have a fun activity along with the warmth and coziness! Cool!

I've been thinking about making one like this for my son and his wife. They both love to cook using fresh veggies and fruits.

oh how fitting, very pretty as well.

That's awesome MamaBear! Love all the food prints!

Beautiful! Much more "visually stimulating" than pastels! I'm sure they will love it!
(One of the first few baby quilts I made, about 30 yrs ago, for a mathematician and a physicist, was an Escher design. The parents still have the quilt on the back of their sofa. Maybe your market gardeners will hang this on the wall when the baby outgorws the crib!)

So cute! Very nice job!

sewTinker 10-24-2010 06:39 PM

the contrasts and colors in this quilt will catch baby's eye and s/he will spend lots of time Looking and Reaching. Pastel quilts are looked at more by parents & visitors. lol

You took the time to personalize the quilt for this special family. Really cute quilt!!

trisha 10-24-2010 06:55 PM

Very cute, and how appropriate!!! I am sure they are loving it. Traditional gets boring sometimes.

Toto's Mom 10-24-2010 07:01 PM

Not your "garden variety " baby quilt!! I think it is CUTER!
That should keep the baby busy for quite some time, and is so appropriate for any gardeners baby.
Love it!!!

Fantastic idea and a really gorgeous quilt....looks like a giant basket of gourmet goodies. I am sure the recipients will be utterly delighted. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, it's a fun and different baby quilt but I'm sure they'll love it as it's made especially for their lifestyle and baby.

My next baby quilt is non-traditional too, May in Jersey

Lukayna 10-26-2010 05:31 AM

Love the theme - and there's no time like immediately to get kids thinking about vegetables as fun. Plus, it makes a great I-Spy playmat and color identification activity too :)
