Well, actually, I shower in the morning.
But tonight I'm going to a shower... a baby shower for a new mom at church! And baby showers mean baby quilts, yah?
The mom-to-be doesn't know if she's having a boy or a girl, but I probably would've made the same quilt either way. I'm just not a pastel person, y'know?
Inspired by this...
... by the fabulously creative Monica, at Happy Zombie, I decided to add a bit more color by widening the strips, and came up with this:
A summer baby deserves (my version of) a lawn chair quilt, yah?
I love, love, love the wrinkly vibe a quilt has after it's been washed a time or two. And that batik fabric in the border is my personal all-time favorite. I'm hoarding what I have left for The Perfect Project. For me. But in the meantime, I sprinkle a little of it here and there. Just right for a summer quilt.
Hope she likes it :D

it's awesome...wish I could be so creative...my daughter in law is expecting a little girl...but in South Africa we're not so into quilting...more's the pity!! Lucky, lucky girl to be getting such a wonderful gift...thanks for sharing! Love your blog...Joan
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! So incredibly spring-y!
Love it! And the batik? Oh my, yes!
Yah. Even more than a lawn chair, it speaks of sunshine and the lake ~ yay for summer!
Well done, Julie!
Julie - what a beautiful quilt and I know it was greatly appreciated! Great colors and made with love for many hours. Thanks for being part of "us'ens" lv jane
Super quilt. I haven't started a new quilt in years. I too like bold colors because then you can use them for pretty lap quilts or throws.
That is a perfect quilt - for a girl or a boy! I have a feeling that little one will make that quilt a security blanket - just too sweet!
lovely:)
