Baby Blanket for the Mod Mom

Thanks to a very trustworthy friend and a rainy weekend, I have now been able to introduce quilting to the KitchStitch shop.  I’ll have to admit that I was intimidated with the beautiful quilts on etsy, but after picking out the fabulous modern fabrics with the mom-to-be at the local hip fabric store (Fancy Tiger), the design just came alive and I went straight to work.

I made each section out of 3”x6” squares, in a chevron pattern on the front and backed it with white flannel for a soft hand on the back.  I am perfecting my skills to “stitch the ditch” but I must say, it didn’t turn out too bad for my first try.  Hopefully there will be many more to come.

Hopefully I’ll have more quilts to follow soon!!  This one was a joy to make.
