I meant to blog about Quilt Market... and I will... but I've been keeping busy. My new nephew is set to arrive on Thursday so I needed to make him a quilt asap! (Jonah arrived on 11/15!)
Aliyah and Elijah both had quilts the day they were born... so I wasn't about to break that tradition!
A couple days of speedy sewing and the quilt top was done! This is inspired Ballerina pattern. The blocks are 12" vs. 18" and perfect for a baby! (Also this way I could use my Hex N More!)
Now a pattern!! - Tiny Dancer Pattern

I had to work fast and didn't have time to send it to Angela to quilt. It has been a while since I basted a quilt!!
Lots of straight line quilting and it was time to bind!
All done!! I have it packed up and ready for when I drive to LA on Thursday!! I'm very excited since this will be the first time I get to be there on day ONE. I lived across the country when Elijah and Aliyah were born so it was months before I got to meet them.

this is such a cute quilt julie. i love that you put minky on the back too. i think it should be a requirement for baby quilts! ;) xo
So cute!!
I think the name "Ballerina" would have thrown me off course if I was looking for a boy quilt, but you prove it's totally a unisex pattern. I love the material! I might have to track some down to make a quilt for the Sandy victims, since it's so "down the shore" looking.
What a cute quilt and Mazel Tov to you all on the upcoming birth of your new nephew. So happy for your all.
A wonderful baby boy quilt!!Wishing your family all the very best with the arrival of this precious little one.
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
It's darling! Congrats!
I was in a quilt shop yesterday in N.C. the lady had your hex n more rulers, but none of the patterns. I told her she should get some and have a class, demo day. She was so excited when I brought up your info on line, and plans to order right away...love the cute quilts..you are so talented.
Perfect! You are in for a fabulous treat!

Can't wait to see pix of the little one!
