A Quick, Sweet Baby Quilt and NTT

Welcome to Needle and Thread Thursday, y'all!  After the odyssey that was my Rainbow Galaxy quilt, I was so ready to sew something fast and easy, and baby quilts are always perfect for that.  We have a new niece, born a few weeks ago, so this one is for her!


Her mom LOVES purple and green together, so those two colors were a no-brainer, and I threw in a little bit of pink to give it extra sweetness.  I always like to make baby quilts that will grow with the child, so I always choose colors I think will work long past the baby stage.

This is made with a variation on a traditional Antique Tile block, and I published a little tutorial for it a while back.  You can find the block tutorial HERE.  This one will be finished up in short order and sent to my niece via my father-in-law, who is taking a trip to visit them soon!

As usual, last week's party was loaded with quilty eye-candy, like this lovely quilt finish by Rita at Quiltpiecer-


And this beauty by Debra at Robinson Row.  It really is a lovely pattern!  Love seeing different versions!



And finally, this stunner is by Linda at kokaquilts-


Alrighty, friends!  Let's link up!

1You can link finished projects or WIP's , but just keep it about quilting and sewing!
2. Link to your specific post (not to your home page!) to make it easier for others.
3. Please remember to spread the word and post my button or a text link within your

*If you're new to the party, here's a helpful tip for linking up- select "Auto Crop"  when selecting your thumbnail photo.  For some reason, trying to crop your own image results in the dreaded "white question mark box," and we definitely want to see your awesome work!  :)

  9. The baby quilt is awesome! I love the colors you chose. (I’m also a big fan of purple and green.) The features are wonderful! The fan quilt is especially eye-catching.
