My dear friend is expecting a baby boy in January. I was so excited to put together another small quilt for baby Noah. I don't really know what colors they are going for, but Becky always makes me think "green" .... I really liked these fabrics against the linen. This is also my first attempt at hand quilting. It took a while and a bit of frustration, but I think I got the hang of it finally. Although I don't think you can see it in the pictures, but there I embroidered his name on one of the linen squares.
I had a hard time finding a complementary binding... I made the mistake of not buying all my fabric at once, I can never find something to match after the fact...
Anyhow, it made me explore the neighborhood a bit so I ended up with some soft red corduroy from Knittin Kitten.
I used the rest to make a warm rice pillow cover too (my flash was on the fritz so don't have a picture). I liked it so much that I went back and got more corduroy to make one for ourselves so we can be cosy warm too!
