Baby Morris's Quilt

Last Tuesday I started this quilt for baby Morris's shower on Sunday. Originally I was going to make the entire quilt from my stash because I was feeling the need to stash reduce after moving all of it but in the end I didn't like what I had and took a half a dozen swatches to Joanns to pick out the final few fabrics. Instead I came home with 6 yards of new fabrics and only used 3 out of my stash... so much for stash busting.


I selected this pattern because I knew that it went together quickly. Myy husband was betting that I wouldn't finish in time for the shower since my last baby sized quilt took all summer long. I let him help select the border and binding since it was a gift for his best friend's baby. I had been asking all summer what their plans for the nuersery were and finally gave up and selected the fabric. Two days before the shower the baby's dad posted on facebook that he was painting their nursery, raspberry tart and bamboo green. I was shocked that we had picked the same color scheme. I based this quilt of the Moda tutorial Baby Blanket.
