Right before we departed for vacation, (back in the first week of August) I decided aside from packing and getting on the road, I also should finish the quilt a friend had requested for her nephew who is due in early fall. The baby will have gear themed bedding, so his Aunt + I decided to use a robot + gear fabric theme, and this colorblock pattern (from Bijou Lovely)
I decided to quilt each block differently...
The center strip was a zig zag:
All of the white border was quilted with a thin horizontal line.
One block had multiple size circles:
The green block was the same across the small block + the large block.
And I absolutely loved the back of this quilt. The robot fabric is broken up with a strip that resembles a braid.
I hand embroidered a special message to the quilt's recipient in the braid:
This quilt is for a special little guy...his Uncle served with my husband in the Army + his Dad also served in the Army, my friend requested a special onesie to commemorate their service:
This was a fun project, probably should have waited until after vacation to finish, but I loved these fabrics and couldn't wait to see the finished quilt!
