WIP Wednesdays

I'm a sucker for Sweetwater fabrics.  I can't get enough of the Hometown collection and Reunion was just as good.  I tried to not buy any Lucy's Crab Shack, but caved and I'm currently working on a quilt. Then we have Mama said Sew or Sew Mama Sew?  I can't remember - but I have a charm pack of it already.  I mean, you can't really go wrong with Sweetwater fabrics.

This was a simple quilt - but I feel it fits the person who's home it will reside in.  I was going to go with pinwheels or something a little different - as we all know I'm into squares these days.  But I kept going back to this as I really felt it fit.

The navy in this collection is beautiful, and this jacks fabric was my favorite.  I think it screams boy in a cute old fashion kind of way.  I love how it is bold and pulls in all the colors in the line.  I knew I wanted this to be the border and focal point which also played into my simple square quilt.

I tried to jazz it up a big with some fun quilting.  X's in the middle border, a loopy big border and I have no idea what to call the big square quilting....I'll have to look that one up.

The backing may be me new thing.  I pieced it using leftovers from the border/binding along with some yellow polka dot.  I don't piece my backings very often and I wonder why.  I think it turned out cute and adds some character to the quilt.  The binding is a red fabric with years on it.  Again - I think numbers are perfect for the home this will live in.  Can't wait for the arrival of the sweet little boy.
