Oh Baby - Baby!

 Baby, baby - oh yes.  I have two baby gifts ready to give.

My youngest son's two great friends have had baby boys making it time to make some baby quilts.

Both baby quilts were made completely from my stash fabrics (no new fabric purchased).   

First using fabric from Michael Miller fabrics called "Zoology" with a zoo animal print  inspired this brightly colored quilt.   Since in my stash I had different widths of fabrics I decided to do my variation on the Twister pattern that I have used previously for other quilts.  The finished size is 38" by 52".

And the perfect way to give this gift - a cloth toy box, pattern from AGF.

The second boy quilt gift is from a panel called "Thicket" by Gingiber.  I've used this design a few times - it's one of my favorites.

The matching fabric Toy Box is made from scraps from the quilts.

Both gifts have a book, a stuffed animal and I made a couple drool bandana bibs.  I'll let my son decide which friends gets which gift.  We should be seeing both of his friends in the next couple weeks.  

Baby quilts are fun, quick and have more meaning than a store bought gift.  Here's hoping that both quilts will be used and dragged around by their little owners.

I still have fabrics leftover from both of these baby quilts which will be used for future projects - possibly more baby quilts.  I'm seriously busting through my stash fabrics, but it still doesn't seem to make too much of a dent.  

I'm finishing up on gifts for other friends.  Not babies, but grown ups.  I'll be ready to share in a couple of days.
