Baby quilt: "Teagan"

This was made for the child of some friends of ours. The baby was 12 days early; the quilt is two months late. Oh well! She hasn't outgrown it. I handed it over at Thanksgiving.



That faux patchwork backing fabric (peeking over the sides and featured in bias-cut squares in the design) is from Joann. I found it on clearance a few months ago and bought the entire remainder of the bolt, which was four yards (and that is a LOT of fabric for a quilter... this was before my bare minimum was three yard cuts).

I must say, I love the colors in this quilt. At some point, I developed an affinity for vibrant colors, and lots of 'em, all in the same place. I especially love red.

This is a bit of a departure from a lot of quilts I make, because I didn't do the quilting "in the ditch" (on top of other seams, for you non-quilters out there). You can see here that I did diagonal squares:



I'm pleased with it. I hope baby Teagan has many happy baby moments looking at the colors.

Happy weekend, all!
