A baby quilt.


Last weekend I made this quilt for a co-workers granddaughter’s baby.
The Granddaughter went to college only a few blocks from where I work and would sometimes come hang out with her grandmother between classes or at lunch so we got to see her quite a bit for a few years.
Now she has a cute little baby boy and maybe one day she will bring him in to meet us all. I am sure they are going to keep baby at home where it’s safe for the time being. But she is sending Grandma pictures which of course she shows everyone, and he is a cutie.
I did a super simple pattern of every other block a solid baby blue than a block of skateboarding dinosaurs.

I used quilters dream poly batting, which I had never used before. I usually go for a cotton batting. I have used poly battings before and struggled with them but I thought I would try this because there wasn’t much to choose from on the site I ordered from, and it worked really well. I will use this brand again. (I am just mentioning them because I liked it no one asked me too.) The quilt went together fairly quickly. It helped to have nothing to distract me. I couldn’t even go outside because the Sahara dust was so thick last week so I stayed in and finished this quilt in time to give it to the grandmother Monday so she could give it to her granddaughter the next time she saw her.
