I pulled out my bin of 2 1/2 inch scrap strips to make some
Rugby Stripe Blocks on a bit of whim. These blocks are so quick and easy to put together, before I knew it I had enough for a scrappy baby quilt.
The blues, greens, and blacks make this version more masculine than the
first, larger iteration of the quilt. I love how fabric choice completely changes the look and feel of a quilt.
I quilted it simply with my Bernina's serpentine stitch. You can play with the width of the wave and the stitch length and use the side of the walking foot to gauge distance between rows of stitching. These are about an inch apart.
The binding is a crisp navy and white stripe that should fit the nautical theme of my friend's nursery, and the flannel back will make this quilt a cozy on for her new little boy. At 41 x 55 it is a nice size to serve him through his preschool years too.

Very nice! I started a similar quilt a while back and gave up on it. I think I made a mistake with that decision.... I like this alot!
Love your colour and fabric choices. Looks Fantastic.
