Fabric Collection for New Quilt

I pulled these fabrics from my stash last night. I'm sure you can guess, but this is going to be a new baby boy quilt! I have an idea for what I want to do, but I may change my mind by the time I'm through cutting. We'll see! 

Most of these fabrics are either Bella or Moda solids. There is one piece of Kaufman Essex Linen Blend in Medium Aqua and the pattern on the bottom is pulled from my Serenade layer cake by Kate Spain.

I can't wait to start cutting!

Plus Baby Boy Quilt

I made this plus quilt a while back, in May 2013, for Daniel's boss. She had a sweet baby boy and we couldn't wait to give this to him! 

I used my scraps for this project. A lot of the fabric is left over from this quilt. I'd like to try this again with smaller crosses at some point too. All in all, a fun quilt!

Half Square Triangle Quilt Peiced

Some friends of ours are having their first baby! We are so excited. We just went to the gender revealing party and found they were having a baby boy! I immediately started putting together a baby quilt in my mind and thought of some modern looking quilts by Crafty Blossom that I had seen online recently. Aren't the colors Erica picked out for this quilt amazing?! The piecing is simple and dynamic. I'm not sure what her method is for piecing, but this is what I came up with.

First, I took 6 fat quarters and squared them off to be 18"x18."

Then, I cut those squares into fourths creating four 9" squares of each color.

After that, I paired up all the squares front sides facing one another.

Then I sewed all the way around the sandwiches and cut them into fourths diagonally.

Once pressed open, they created the perfect little half square triangles.

I ended up with 48 squares or 96 triangles. 

Once those were done I sewed them together randomly 6 squares across and 8 squares down. 

And there you go! A simple cute quilt.
