This Spring, I had two new nephews enter my life. They are both handsome fellas. I thought they deserved a quilt for being born.
First up was for baby Hank. He lives in Canada. I got a little carried away when making his quilt. It's not so much baby size as it is lap size. Hank and big brother Rex can cuddle up together, read Skippyjon Jones, and know how much Aunt Jana loves them. For those who care about these stats, I used a Buggy Barn pattern found in American Patchwork and Quilting. Fabric is Pure by Sweetwater.
The second quilt was for baby Caden. It's really a baby size. I had a Pure charm pack, and used a pattern from Camille's book.
I really like how it turned out.
I just wish I had gotten better pictures of both quilts. I'm still figuring out my new camera. Apparently I have a lot to learn!

Both quilts are super cute...great job, Jana! :)
They are great quilts Jana. I struugle with colour choices for boys. Yours are perfect. Congratulations on your finishes.
As one who has seen it, I can tell you that the quilt for Hank is a hit with his big brother. The strips connecting the blocks are perfect lane dividers for cars. He is definitely the caretaker for the quilt as he and I set it up inside the for we made with sofa cushions and had a wee picnic on it. You did a fantastic job.
Great quilts! I especially love that star one. It would be great done up in western prints. Fabulous gifts!
beautiful quilts!!
Just had to tell how cute your quilts turned out! Love the Buggy Barn star pattern - met these gals and shopped at their shop - super fun gals!
I also love your quilt from Camille's book - I would not have thought to use Pure and it turned out awesome!!
Wow, those quilts are beautiful! I especially love the star quilt. Do you by any chance know what issue the pattern is in? I have all of them from forever except for the last year or two when I quit subscribing -- I hope it's an older pattern!
These are great quilts, Jana. Brown and blue are my favorite colors for baby boys. Great job!
