The design was inspired by this quilt I've had pinned on Pinterest for forever. Maybe you've seen it before? I designed this particular version myself, it was pretty easy. The best part? It uses EXACTLY one charm pack. Yep. 42 (well, 41.5) 5" squares and some yardage. Whoop!
The backing is this cute green flannel I've been hoarding for awhile. I didn't have quite enough of it, so I snuck in this strip of orange dimple dot minky for fun. :)
For the quilting, I went with an overall pattern because I needed something fast. Every time I do an all over quilting design, I wonder why I don't do it more often. I LOVE how this one turned out!
The fabric is called "Block Party" by Sandy Gervais for Moda. I gave the boys a couple different charm packs to choose from and they picked this one. My friend is having a girl, so hopefully this works for her! Also, I can't wait until my boys are tall enough to hold ALL my quilts for me! ;)
