Work in Progress - A Baby Boy Quilt

And a Custom Order.
Baby Blues - Custom Order Quilt | Red Pepper Quilts

A baby quilt for a yet to be born baby boy.
Modern, bright, fresh
featuring blues in clean, simple prints.

Baby Blues - Custom Order Quilt | Red Pepper Quilts

So simple! All squares and a mix of blue, black, grey and white prints. Pulling together a combination of fabrics like is my favorite part of the fabric-play process, but I do think that I make it look just a little easier than what it really is. I've had a lot of practise at this. It helps to start with a clear vision of how you want the quilt to look, and also to have on hand a variety of fabrics to audition.

I was surprised by how few navy fabrics I have in my stash (and noticed that the navy fabrics that I do have on hand have in fact not previously been cut into - it is not I color that I use often!). Aqua, light blue, and grey fabrics on the other hand were aplenty.
