Two of my co-workers recently had babies - you saw Nixon's quilt, so here is Harvey's! I work with Harvey's mom, Rachel, and we had a joint baby shower for her and Nixon's mom, April. Harvey is Rachel's first baby, and she knew she was having a boy. I knew her nursery was decorated in grey and navy, so I wanted to stick with those colors, and also arrow accents. But I also knew that I was quickly running out of time to get a quilt done, and I had the perfect quilt listed in the Etsy shop. So I deactivated this quilt in the shop, and sent it on its way to Harvey!
The pattern is "Swiss" by Thimble Blossoms. I used all of the navy and dark blue scraps I had! The backing is a Cloud 9 arrow patterns from Joanns (they don't have it in stock anymore, so I can't find the name), and the grellow (green + yellow) binding is also by Cloud 9.
I quilted it with horizontal rows of extra large zig zag stitches. It was a fun way to quilt, that I need to remember for future quilts.
Rachel loved the quilt, and she even cried when she opened the gift bag. I also made her a small stuffed dog to coordinate with the quilt (pattern is from Shabby Fabrics) since she has three dogs!
