Nephew Quilt for B

This quilt is for my nephew B.  He told me that his favorite color combo is deep royal purple and black.  So this was my fabric pull.  

It was such a fun quilt to make because it was literally a quilt in a day--from fabric pull to binding.  I chose to use a simple pattern I have used before on a wedding quilt for C and K.  The idea came from Emily at Simple Girl, Simple Life.  (I can't find her website any more.) It is made from five inch squares with sashing and borders.  

I had fun putting it on my design wall.

With such big and simple blocks the quilt top came together quickly.

Then I quilted it on the Bernina Q24.

I love quilting the loopy spiral on boy quilts.  I think the curved quilting softens all the squares.

I got the binding on after the kids were in bed.

I love Saturday quilt days when my husband is home.  And I love simple quilts that can be made in a day.  

The quilt was added to the nephew quilt stack and later I took more photos outside.

I am also loving taking pictures at the arbor my husband built.  

I dropped this quilt off at my brother’s house last week along with  his siblings’ quilts. B picked it up the next day. He told me that the colors are absolutely perfect and he loves it.
