So now that you know about the baby girl quilt I made, it's time to talk baby boy quilt. Before Blaize was born, we hardly dared to hope it might be a boy. And even though NOT finding out what we were having was hard... Oh, it is so incredible at the end!
And after seeing this pattern, I knew I wanted to make a houndstooth baby quilt.
The backing fabric was a vintage print of Goldilocks and the 3 bears. But it was really the bears that won my heart. Especially "mummy bear".
I machine quilted it using my walking foot, in a simple grid pattern. Not too much to make it stiff, but enough to give it texture.
Baby Blaize sleeps under it every night, and I love seeing that houndstooth peek out of his crib at me every time I walk in the room.. Almost as much as I love seeing his little face peek out above it. =)

That houndstooth quilt is so classy and modern and vintage at the same time. I love it, especially in the subtle light grey blue. And the simple stitching complements it so well. Gorgeous :)
