Road 17 N

I woke up this morning to snow!  It is beautiful, but I think I would rather have rain or sun.  Oh well, we cannot control the weather.  What we can control is the color we live around material wise.  So I thought I should show you this baby quilt.  This was made using a jelly roll and some white Bella solid for sashing.  So fun and quick.  Katie Friesen quilted it for me, which I think makes it look so elegant.  The pattern is by Allison Harris.  She is one of my favorite designers.  So have a wonderful day, I hope this made you morning a bit brighter wherever you are!

This quilt is for no one in particular.  I usually have a sense of who I am making something for but not this time.  I was inspired by a customer.  She asked me to pick colors for a quilt she was making for a baby boy.  She showed me the pattern and I was to choose colors.   Months after she was gone I thought to myself, that seemed like a neat pattern to do.  So picking similar colors, I started cutting.  I was really happy I did that because sometimes patterns ask for too much fabric.  I don't like to buy extra and have to do another project when I am done the quilt, just to use up the scraps.  Some scraps I don't mind.  But not so much that I can nearly make another blanket.  So I always encourage people to 'make sense' of the pattern by doing some math and then you will know just how much to buy.  But I love the quilt....and hopefully when I become great Auntie for the first time this March, it will be a BOY!
