This was the quilt Matt and I made for our first born child, before we knew who we were expecting (boy or girl). We liked the color combination, thinking it would go nicely with the yellow in the bedrooms upstairs, and although the purple/blue was maybe a hint feminine, we thought it tended blue enough that it could go either way. We were especially delighted with the fabric we found for the border - the same blue-purple, but with tiny kitty paw prints all over it.
I took these photos of the set of three quilts after finishing Leah's the summer after Reuben was born. Owen, in the photo above next to his quilt, is five years old when the photo was taken.
The quilt was machine pieced (my first venture into curves!), machine quilted to echo the geometric pattern of the quilt, and used 100% cotton batting.
