Baby Boy Strip Quilt

We finally made it to Seattle and this morning, I unpacked my sewing machine.....JOY.


I've never been much into quilting.  I make a flannel blanket here and there and I made a rag quilt back in my single days, but I mostly stick to clothing and diaper bags.  When I was deciding what to make for my sister's baby shower gift, I saw THIS tutorial over at Lu Bird Baby for an easy strip quilt.


It was love at first sight!  I knew I wanted to make my first strip quilt.

So, with this fabric-


I cut and sewed all different widths of strips together-


And then I appliqued a big "J" on because the baby is going to be named Johnathan-


Machine quilting and binding done and voila!


I had a hard time giving it away, but I have no boys...

She loved it!
