More zig zags

Continuing the great baby boom of 2009, Baby F arrived in London this past Monday, almost 2 weeks late. Needless to say, his parents are glad he's out.

Baby F's gender was unknown until he made his appearance so I had to go with something gender-neutral, and I hope this red and orange ensemble succeeded. This is my second Zig Zag Quilt - I love the way it's assembled and the process of arranging the triangles.

Welcome Baby G!

When our friends D and L announced they were expecting a baby I set straight to work on their baby present. This little bean has been long anticipated and although we weren't going to know the sex, the quilt had to be perfect. I chose the Zig Zag Quilt pattern from the Purl Bee and used a mix of orange and turquoise prints that I hoped would be gender neutral. Little baby G (a girl) made her appearance on November 5 (an excellent birthday, if I do say so myself, and I should know) and she is just beautiful!

Even more so than her blanket, if I'm being honest.

Little did I know, but L's family has a special thing with seahorses, so the fabric choice was perfect!

All fabrics from Fabric Worm, Purl Patchwork and my stash (source sadly long forgotten).
