The quilt I started is finally done. I love that it incorporates the room colors but isn't so baby-ish that it has to be put away as he grows.
I picked out the fabric for the smaller squares from furniture sample pieces on clearance. The backing is more of a muslin fabric and very soft.
Instead of doing quilting, I decided to add buttons in corresponding blue, green, and cream. And while it doesn't make for a baby-safe quilt, it will be more for decoration anyway. Since it's hand-stiched I'd hate to have to wash it if it got dirty from use.
My squares and grid aren't as perfect as I wanted, but I still like how it turned out as a shabby chic handmade project.
