Blue Geo Baby Quilt

It was bound to happen sooner or later!  Finished!  It's easy to put off finishing a quilt when you are given months advance notice.  I would think to myself that I have plenty of time, I'll do it next week, it won't take too long...but I also knew that time flies and that deadline would be here before I knew it.

BABY GEO POP
34" X 45" 
I finished piecing the top at the end of July (Baby Blue Geo), at which time I set it aside waiting for the quilting bug to strike.  It finally did and now it is off my list and out the door!



With so many quilts I often have no idea how I'll quilt them.  I try to go a different route, but always end up with the same quilting design...especially with this pattern.  



While each 'Geo Pop' quilting design is different, I use the same ideas.  Straight lines and grids.  It's effective and I always enjoy the final results.



The back always is the best place to see the detail!  I used Kona Navy on the back and choose a dark blue thread for the square and rectangle and a light blue for the rest of the quilt.



Between the front and the back, this quilt doesn't lack in geometric department!  I kind of like the lighter thread on the dark backing.



I hope my sister, who asked if I'd make a quilt for her friend, will love it.  But mostly I hope the expecting parents and eventual baby boy will love it even more!  



I just love this design...can you tell?!  I'm a Half Square Triangle cult member...willingly and happily!

  12. This quilt is stunning in this color combo with those intense blue graphic shapes. Just perfect. As is your quilting. No doubt your sister is very pleased with your effort. It would be so fun to make a quilt upon request, simply knowing it already has a home.

  18. As I've heard, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" That geo quit is wonderful and the quilting goes perfectly with it. Now, the big question! Where do you get your Kona Navy? I've been looking for a navy fabric. Eventually, one will speak to me but in the meantime I have several other quilts that can be worked on!
