Pink Baby Quilt – Completed!

Just completed a pink quilt for my cousin’s daughter’s first birthday. Based on pictures I’ve seen of her clothes, animals, and bed, I decided to make it pink-on-pink. The background is a light, solid color and the accented squares are pink with pink and red flowers and just a bit of green for the leaves.

I wish the fabric colors showed up better in the photographs below. If my cousin takes some pictures where the colors come out better, I’ll add them too. I think I need to start taking pictures in the sunlight and brush up my photography skills.

The pattern I used was very simple, based on 9-patch squares. I liked the effect that the star 9-patch (diagonals on the corners) had when placed next to a standard 9-patch.

It’s 6 x 6 blocks, I forgot to measure the final product but it’s bigger than your average baby quilt. I figured that since I put it off until she was 1, it should be a bit larger.

Now I have to start planning for when my cousin’s sister has a baby this fall. Boy baby, parents are Nascar fans. I’m thinking a Nascar quilt, even if they don’t go with that for a nursery theme. I’m an enabler.
