As I read my friends' quilt blogs with lots of accomplishments for the year already, I am feeling a little sheepish about finally showing my first quilt finish for this year. Above is my beach themed baby quilt for a new baby boy born in Bermuda.
I used the Dear Stella's All Hands on Deck fabric for the front and back. I used Kona white for the binding. The batting is Dream Cotton Select. The quilting is 1" straight line with a 3.7 stitch length setting. The blocks are 6" finished and the quilt size is 42" by 48".
And this is the back which is very simple and I think stands alone as a classic look whole cloth quilt.
Washed and dried crinkliness...

I love it, the quilting, the backing fabric. very nice.
Happiness all over the place and I LOVE that fabric. I've been resisting. Very sweet quilt.
This is a great quilt for a beach baby!! Love the colours and the fabrics. The straight line quilting looks great, too!
It's so pretty! I love a nautical theme. The straight-line quilting looks like the perfect choice. how neat that it's going to Bermuda!
The fabric is a really good pick..you have excellent taste! I think we are all in different stages in our lives and some of us have more time to quilt than others so don't feel bad. Your quilt is super cute!!!
such a great baby quilt! it makes me long for the salt air :) if it makes you feel any better, I haven't actually finished a quilt yet this year - some small finishes, but I'm nowhere close to a quilt finish ;)
Lovely bright and cheerful quilt.
Very pretty quilt! Love the colors!

I like it very much. Pretty fabrics. The parents should like it, and the baby will love it.
