Back to good old standby, the Disappearing 4-patch. So quick and easy to make with a charm pack, 42 other 5" squares, a little for a border, binding and back.
The mother to be asked for foxes and woodland critters, and the color grey. I already had a charm pack that had some little foxes and such, as well as other gently baby motifs, such as airplanes, in a fresh color scheme of orange, yellows and turquoise that went just perfect with a variety of grays I had in stash.

Brides Baby Quilt
I made this quilt at the request of a friend. She had been the maid of honor at her best friend's wedding, and wore a sheer layered yellow dress. Now, her best friend was expecting her first baby, n she wanted a simple quilt, in colors suitable for a boy or a girl, that would incorporate pieces of the bridesmaid dress. She selected the pattern, (large triangles) and gave me the dress along with the other fabrics.
I love how it turned out!
The bridesmaid dress was sheer, so I layered it over the grey patterned fabric in 2 of the yellow triangles. I added a few triangles out of a white with little grey "x"s" just to add a bit of variety and keep it light.
I cut 60 or so 6" tall triangles for this quilt. The borders are wider on the sides, since it seemed kinda skinny. The back is pieced from the 2 greens and a bit of the grey pattern.

QUILT: Rings
This quilt was inspired by a wedding. I wanted a representation of gold wedding bands, and had several great greys in a collection with the yellows. After finishing the yellow rings, I decided to make grey nine-patches with gold centers. the background is a great white with grey x's (kisses?) and the quilt came together as a generous lap quilt. White and natural in the quilt layer makes it a year round good choice for San Diego.
