Here’s baby quilt #3 for 2011. I made this one for Shelly and Luke and their baby boy. I’m really pleased with how this one turned out. Something a little different.
I’ve been wanting to make a strip quilt for a while. When I saw the pretty version made by Tara at Tara Being Tara, I bit the bullet and ordered a jelly roll. It went together really easily, but did take some time.
I started with Moda’s Pure Jelly Roll. These fabrics are so darn pretty. And I supplemented with white and brown Jelly Rolls by Kona. I have a LOT of this fabric left, so we’ll see what I do with it.
Simple (semi) straight quilting, as usual.
I love the brown polka dot backing. Don’t you?
Yay for baby boys and cozy quilts!
What do you think?
I’m expecting my first grandchild, and am making strip quilts. I’ve got the girl’s done but I LOVE this quilt you’ve made for the boy’s. The girl’s quilt has the raggedy edges and looks great but for the boy, I love the technique you used. I assume you did the quilt top first and then added the backing and sewed/quilted along either side of each seam.
Can i order a quilt from you? I love this one and I am thinking about making one. But I need a new sewing machine first.
I love this! learning to quilt is on my “list”.
What beautiful quilts! I would so love to make a quilt…I just need to build up enough confidence and find the time to do it! The blue and brown one serve as great inspiration for me. I need clean, simple lines! Love them all! Thanks for sharing!
Blessings,

You are a quilting machine! You are like almost a quilt a month…and doing a home reno. Have I ever told you that you are my hero?
And that quilt is adorable. I love that fabric line!
Oh this is sooo cute! I love the color combination with the browns and teals, just perfect!
That’s it. I must come out and visit you and learn how to quilt. I love how modern and sweet your quilt is! I am getting ideas for Ike’s quilt, which I still need to make 🙂
Super cute quilt. I love the polka dot backing. Oh how I wish I had the patience to learn to make a quilt like that for my babies.
Lucky baby. Yours looks great but good to know it was a bit time consuming. I would have thought it was a quickie. I like the details you added to the back.
Love it! I love stripe quilts!
I think it is beautiful!
You have some really lucky people in your life so be receiving such beautiful works of art.
You are a quilting machine! It turned out beautifully, that’s going to be one lucky little boy.
I think this is my favorite yet! Beautiful, I love strip quilts and the fabrics are amazing.
I love that brown and aqua quilt, girl! Beautiful.
I love that quilt! Want to post a tutorial for me?
That is GORGEOUS! I love the color combination, the typeography, AND the stripes. Will you make a grown up one for me? 😉
Another FANTASTIC quilt Kimberly. Love love love it! ❤ I really like each one so much and wouldn’t even be able to pick a favorite. It just keeps gettin’ better. Great job.
it looks so cute kim!! did you quilt it too or have someone finish it? would love to know what technique you used to quilt.
You are so talented, it’s gorgeous and unique.
Baby boy stuff is hard to make cute and classy…and you did it! Totally “pinning” that pattern! 😉
Kim! You are so talented. I love this quilt… am now rethinking the zigzags… maybe I should just make a striped quilt instead?
I love it!! I can’t believe how many quilts you’ve made this year, on top of all your other awesome projects! I’m planning to make a strip quilt for my neice some time this summer. I hope it turns out as lovely as yours!
I loving the quilts you make, so pretty!!! Thanks again for all the information on quilt making! 🙂
gorgeous! i would want that for myself! i love how it’s boyish but not babyish 🙂 so cute.
Totally cute! Def a quilt that could grow with him.
I love it!! Your hard work really paid off, it looks amazing.. I want it in adult size for my bed!
That’s how you can market your party planning business – I will plan your party and make you beautiful quilts to enhance the decor. LOL Love the fabrics you chose. And you did a great job on sew those straight seams. Not as easy as it looks.
That quilt turned out beautiful! Still learning about quilting and haven’t done a large project yet. Can you please tell me what a jellyroll is?
This is one of the prettiest quilts I have ever seen. Love the pattern and the fabrics. Well done!
I love it! I’ve wanted to try a strip quilt, too, and I think you just convinced me to give it a go. I really love the colors you went with–not the typical cutesy baby boy colors. And don’t tell your friends . . . but your quilt is my favorite 🙂
