Here's my entry. A quilt for a brand new baby, Joshua.
This is a small quilt, measuring 28.5 inches x 36.5 inches. Perfect size for a bassinet or pram or just for having a kick and a play.
In this quilt I've used some of the red and grey designs from Aneela Hoey's Sherbet Pips range and I've added in some Kei Honeycomb in red and grey and some Robert Kaufman 'Ring Toss' in pewter.
The binding is a simple black and white stripe.
And the backing is a Michael Miller red and white dot.
And finished off with a Patch Andi label in red.
Baby Joshua's big brother needed a present too. He has become quite the little car enthusiast. (Well as much as you can be at age nearly-two!)
These gifts have been given and much appreciated! (Big brother's eyes lit up and he said "kah!!!")
I hope you have enjoyed my entry into the quilt festival.

Fantastic quilt for a baby boy, Andi! I bet Joshua will not only enjoy using it, but he be fascinated by those fabrics. Lots of interesting blocks to look at.
Great entry, Andi!
I've liked Sherbet Pips since I first saw it. I must get some. I love your combination with the Kei Honeycomb and Ring and Toss. Great quilt!
Just perfect for a baby boy! I love the binding stripes or polka dots always to the trick.
Too cute! You had me with the baby! :)
I used the same quilt binding for the last quilt I made for Evan4. He's (most unfortunately) a Collingwood supporter, so it was the only choice, really.
This is such a sweet quilt for a rather gorgeous baby. Love the backing and the binding, too. Your baby is adorable!
Love both the quilt and that delicious baby! Hope you're doing well, my friend!
So cute (quilt AND baby)! A great use of the Pips :-) And, where did you get your label?? It looks awesome!
This is such a gorgeous quilt mate!
I love the colours together with the pinks removed, Awesome!
This is so cute! I love the pips with the other colors you picked. It's awesome that you got something for the big bro too!
Mmmmmm. I love the striped binding and the polka dots. I love simple squares and the straight line quilting...this is a perfect quilt!!
Loved your entry Andi, gorgeous baby and everything!!! Esp love that stripy binding and your red label!! xo
Very cute quilt. How lovely are those 'Pips'.We have a house full of those Matchbox cars and they all get a turn. I am pretty sure my son has them catalogued in his head.
What a fun quilt!! Fun colours for a baby boy!!
Cute quilt. Love the metro circles you added and the red dot background. Cute baby too!

I always love your quilts and this is no exception. I love all the wonderful fabrics - especially the binding. Great job.
What a lovely baby's quilt! Lucky baby (and parents!)
I love your work,thanks for ahring it!
andi--
i've been wondering. do you sew that label on the backing before or after quilting? i typically fold over and sew into the binding, but i've been liking these types of labels lately. i'm just not sure about the best way to attach them.
I love that you made the Pips work forma boy quilt! It's super cute.
For a boy quilt, of course.
Gorgeous quilt and baby. I think it's the first time I've seen only the red and grey used in Sherbet Pips and I love it, it looks fantastic teamed with the other fabrics you have chosen.
what a lovely cheerful quilt for a lovely little one!

Love your color selection. Never thought that red and gray would look good together.
The baby is sooo cute too!
Aww, super sweet.
actually can't decide what is sweeter, the quilt or the baby? so much cuteness!
What a perfect little quilt and I love the Sherbet Pips!
What a charming little boy quilt. Love the novelty scooter print. And the contrasting colors, stripes and dots are great to stimulate little eyes. Kudos
Come see my entries, #210 repro cheddar stars and #214 antique applique-quilted joy
Terrific--but I love all your stuff! (You're in my Google reader and in my listing on my blog). I like your approach to the modern slice of quilting that has helped the industry launch into a fresh new way of doing things. Carry on! Quilt on!
