Inspired by a Baby Boy
I am happy and excited to share with you my latest quilt! I enjoyed so much working on it – no wonder- I made it for Alex, my 8-month-old nephew.
He can’t yet build himself little castles from wooden blocks,
so here are the 12 little castles I built for him.
I started cutting and piecing the blocks thinking that this step will take me forever because all the blocks are different and I was surprised by how quickly I finished the piecing -in a day.
I love everything about this quilt!
– the solid fabric, the color palette –
– the design of the blocks –
– the fabulous textured quilting given by the cotton batting- something I don’t use every day so that I can appreciate it even more –
– the wide binding (almost 3/4”) –
I am glad that I took the time to piece it from many colors – it’s great!
The quilting was fun, I mean FUN! And easy! SUPER-EASY!
If you are interested in free motion quilting, follow my blog because I have a few new ideas for a few FMQ lessons.
Happy quilting!
that's fantastic! I am looking forward to FMQ tips & lessons
It's a wonderful quilt!
Love it, love it!! (Just like all your work.) When he's older he'll be able to build castles that look like your blocks! Very cool. 😀
The binding is perfect with all the piecing you did. I like a wider binding every once in a while, as well.
This is a beautiful little quilt. I love all the castles and your quilting is so nice.
Everything about this quilt is amazing – the colors, variety, the quilting, the binding! It's wonderful. I think my 10 year old nephew would even get a kick out of it. You should be super proud!
It is absolutely lovely!!

As usual, Geta, you have come up with a wonderful design. So cheerful! It's not always easy coming up with designs for boys, but this one is great. I just love your designs!
Fantastic….the blocks, the quilting..everything about it! Now you know why I always use cotton batting for bed quilts.
Amasing, fantastic, beautiful
As usual, another wonderful, whimsy quilt for Alex. The design makes me smile, and your FMQ-ing is awesome.
