Little Boy Blue

Baby quilts are so much fun 
to sew. I made this sweet bow tie design with fabric purchased at the $1 sale a few weeks ago.


A simple traditional block sewed with four blue and white small prints gives it a vintage vibe. Little Boy Blue is 42” square. I quilted with light blue thread in free motion double loops, going diagonally across the squares. Backing is a creamy white with medium blue swirling designs.


This size could also be used for a wall hanging or table topper. It's a quick and easy layout that sews up in a flash.
