I pulled the leftover blocks from GW#1 out of the recesses of my sewing table for the 2016 FAL, then thought, “Why not?”
I spent an hour or so re-arranging them on the design wall, cut some Kona Snow, and starting piecing.
The quilt will be square, approximately ten by ten blocks, each block 4 inches finished. Hopefully big enough for a cot or baby quilt. Would you call this unisex, or for a girl only? My daughter and I are of differing opinions over this. I tend towards a girl, given all the flowers. Opinions are welcome.
Today I am off to the final get together at my LQS. After 17 years, the owner is closing the doors. All the best for the future, Katherine.
Linking up with Oh Scrap! And Scraptastic Tuesday.

I do like the flowers. They do make it a bit more feminine. Always so hard to limit fabrics for “boy” quilts.

Yes, I went out today and found fabric with blue and red elephants, in sheer desperation. I never realised I had so many floral and cat fabrics!

It is always sad when a brick and morter LQS closes. 😦
Thanks for sharing your lovely scraps blocks with Oh Scrap! I like how you are fitting in all those extra blocks.

I do call it unisex and a good size. Baby is going to love looking at all those colors. How about sharing it at Michelle’s Let’s Make Baby Quilts? Thanks for stopping by and commenting at 2nd WIPs Be Gone and Giveaway. Good luck!

That’s a great idea for leftovers. I think it can be unisex but I think it very much would depend on the parents of the baby! Some are much more concerned about gender stereotypes than others!

Think it might depend on the boy’s age! Lovely way to use up your scraps. Thank you for linking up to #scraptastictuesday!

Yes, as a proud rugby nation, I think gender stereotypes are pretty ingrained here. All baby boys should be all black! Maybe not quite that bad. Thanks for visiting.
