Baby Quilting

A lovely friend of mine was expecting her first child this fall, and I was happy to help with a lovely baby quilt. She loves bright and modern designs, she is an artist and photographer, and the kind to love quirky animals, and of course the ocean. 

Kissing Fish Quilt for Baby

I chose the Kissing Fish Quilt. A free pattern from Craftsy.com that is full of Half-Square-Triangles arranged to create a kissing fish pattern. I love that the pattern is embedded within the quilt as a whole, and not really a main focus. The front is a bit of Cotton and Steel and some Lizzy House mice with a bright Cotton and Steele Butterfly on the back.

I chose not to quilt this quilt, but instead knot it, for that soft wrinkly look. I love baby quilts that feel like they are not too "special" but instead a cozy piece of a kid's life. I like how this kept the back pattern intact.
