Almost forgot to post this one, because we finished it a long time before delivering it, and I didn't want my friend to randomly come across it before her daughter received it!
Here is another in the series of denim quilts for babies that we know and love. :) Nothing particularly out of the ordinary in Avi's quilt, besides some fun colors thrown into the mix! Gloria picked out the sweet deer patterned fleece for the backing and that set the tone for the accent colors in the denim.
Not sure if this really counts as a quilt or not, because it's missing the inner layer, but it shares enough qualities with these (Leah's, Bobbi's, Owen's) that I think it works. The front layer is pieced, and it's plenty warm because of the double layers, but it's not quilted at all. (Also see Isaiah's "quilt" - exactly the same concept.)
The kids' 4H group was making tie blankets for a women's shelter with donated fleece. We dug through my old fleece scraps (many of which were already cut and ready to go) and paired them with a piece of fleece we'd been given by Krassi and Reuben's school para when she was cleaning out her basement, and voila!
The pattern is totally random on purpose (saves time), and was unified simply by limiting the color palette to whatever reds, pinks, and purples I had ready to go. Funny - you can see where I started piecing the rows before I decided to also include the 4-square squares. The decision to include the smaller ones was largely so I would have enough material, but I think it really makes the blanket! Happy accident.
Rinnah helped me a bit with the piecing of this one, and Evania also contributed a tiny bit to the work.
