Stacked scrap quilt for a baby boy
The front panel of this quilt is made entirely from scraps of fabric from my stash, with the exception of the yellow birdseed piece and the farmers market apples piece which I already had by the yard.
I used bamboo batting (lovely and soft, and fairly cheap!) and quilted it fairly heavily in horizontal lines. I really like how the quilting looks, it has the perfect amount of wrinkles! The backing is a retro green fabric bought cheap at Spotlight, and the binding is an apple green stripe, again from a scrap of material in my scrap box.
This lovely quilt is waiting for the next little boy to be born- we don't know who that will be but there are a few babies due soon and I am sure we will find a happy home for this quilt with one of them.

I really like the randomness of the width and length of your "stripes". Great job!

Thanks everyone! I am still feeling a lot of love for this one... so much so that I think I will make a more girly version too. We just heard about a boy baby who is due in 2 months so it is nice to know who will be receiving this quilt.

Classic! This quilt is my husband's favourite too- I am pretty sure he would like one in a bigger size for himself too!

You were inspiration for one I have in progress as well! It has been so much fun to work on! www.flickr.com/photos/simplygeometric/3918990 453/in/set-7...

How funny! Thanks for the mention on your blog. I hadn't thought of making this style up in a doll quilt, but I am buying my son a doll bed today so I might just make one inspired by yours, vetcw3!
Yours is looking good simplygeometric. It is such a fun to play with colours. I love rainbows.

Love this quilt. I have quite a large stash of scraps and wonder if you could share how you made this? If there is a need to buy a pattern, please let me know. Thanks ahead of time!
