I made a baby quilt for my friend Theresa's new baby boy Henry. A while back I bought a fat quarters kit with these awesome orange and blue and green fabrics. I loved the colors and knew it had to be mine.
I just started with a basic log cabin design using some of the fat quarters and my inspiration took flight from there! I headed out for some solid colors to tone it down and make it more "boy appropriate".
I am thrilled with the results!
I finished it just in time for my visit with Theresa on Sunday. We had a lovely visit and she even made cake! Yum! I was a spoiled guest :)
Here is Theresa and Henry looking lovely in their sunroom...
I don't know about you - but I think Henry loves his new quilt!

Looks amazing! What a lucky baby.
(I really love the pale blue fabric with leaves on it -- do you know what that is?)
Look at that smirk!! I think he loves the blanket :)
OK, the quilt is lovely, but that baby is SO sweet! I'd say he's totally loving his new quilt. :)
A cute blanket for a cute baby! I love the colours you've chosen.
What's not to love? A bunch of servents waiting to take care of your every need and a new fetching looking quilt too. Henry has it made.
Hey Jody!
Found your blog through Ravelry and just had to comment - my little one is a Henry, too! Glad to see another little Henry out there - he's adorable! And what a GORGEOUS quilt! Would you mind sharing where you got the kit - those colors are great! Thanks!
