Baby Quilt

I finally finished the baby quilt I started weeks ago. After seeing the quilt for my colleague, my daughter asked if I would also be making one for her teacher's baby. Okay, I said! The red and white fabric is an old dutch pattern. I had seen the directions for a shaded four patch on internet and wanted to give it a try, so paired it with the dark grey. Making windwheels just seemed like fun after that. I didn't have very much fabric, so to make the blanket bigger I added a sashing. It was also an opportunity to brighten it up a little by choosing a soft yellow gingham print.

Cynthia's Baby

My friend Ulrike and I made some presents for a former colleague of mine, Cynthia, who is a expecting a baby boy in November.
The quilt. Ulrike picked out the fabrics. I was skeptical at first, but they are so beautiful! They also ended up being the exact colors Cynthia was planning on using in the nursery.
With the scraps I made another hot water bottle cover.
