This one is for my cousin's baby boy due in November. It's so hard finding designs for baby boys. I've chosen a beautiful Sailing Boats quilt pattern from the wonderful jelly roll masters, Pam and Nicky Lintott of The Quilt Room, a beautiful family run Dorking-based quilt shop. They have published many books on the Moda pre-cuts: jelly rolls, charm packs and layer cakes. This design is from their book Two from One Jelly Roll Quilts.

The original design used American Jane's Happy Camper jelly strips from Moda. Try as I may I couldn't find this anywhere. I then stumbled across Bungle Jungle by Tim and Beck. I found the jelly roll from Hulu Crafts and I love it! The designs are full of primary colours, animals, dots and squiggles and is perfect for boy or girl.
It's been 10 months since I last got quilting... I can't wait to share with you my progress! I've started building the blocks, and have already had a couple of "oopsidaisy" moments. More on that and my lessons learnt in a future post.
PS...A facebook update from my poorly sister
(This is a throw I made her as a housewarming present in 2010. Seeing it being used for comfort and warmth is great... just how quilts should be used!)
