This quilt has been in the making for years. Not that I've been actually sewing this specific one for that long. But the hankering, and the desire, to make a quilt for my friend's little boy, Brock, has persisted since before he was born. He is now 2+. And he is sweet and darling, as is his mom. (I made a quilt for Brock's sister a few years ago too.)
The idea is loosely from Hopewell American Textiles.
I was so happy to finally give this quilt to its rightful owner(s).

Love this one! And the quilting looks amazing. Well done!
oh i love that
Beautiful quilt! I'm about to start on my first quilt, and I'm a little nervous about colors bleeding. What would you recommend? I can't decide if I should wash all of my fabric before piecing the quilt or if I should just wash the finished quilt afterward with a color catcher. I'd love any pointers you might have!
Annie,
Thank you! How fun to begin your first quilt!
I don't ever pre-wash my fabric. I used to. But most fabrics these days are just so good at not bleeding.
So when the whole quilt is done, I just wash it in the hand wash or gently cycle, in cold water, with a 1/4 cup of white vinegar. The vinegar helps to set the colors (so I'm told). You can also throw it in the dryer.
