I enjoy making this simple design into a baby quilt. It is just an easy way to make a patchwork triangle quilt by cutting extra bits of fabric into triangle shapes as I go and then keeping them aside to put together at a later point.
I think all my fabrics work together because the light fabric is a beautiful romantic rose print by Pam. It is Pam Kitty Love Bouquets in White. It goes with all my favorite colors and fabrics. I think it is so pretty in this baby quilt. I've reordered this print 2 times and since I've used it all up in this quilt I may have to go for a 3rd order.
I like using this elongated Dear Jane Triangle template. It adds a bit of drama to a very simple design. I cut my blocks 6".
Of course I'm fond of all the different prints. Some of the fabrics go back to my London quilt and some are from the Barn quilt I recently finished.I usually quilt this size top myself but since I've got 3 other quilts ready to take to the quilter, I may just send this one out to be quilted as well.

I love how you put your fabrics together, Nanette. This is a very pretty quilt - perfect for a little girl!
Such a beautiful quilt, Nanette. I love how you used the same background fabric with all of those prints.
I love that fabric as a background. Really what a sweet quilt. I bet long after the baby outgrows it, it will be a treasured keepsake.
Love this Nanette....Pam's fabric is the perfect background for this sweet quilt!
Very adorable! But of course everything you do is cute! I am thinking I will have to get me one of those rulers too!

I love the long skinny triangles! Your fabric choices are always so pretty and fun!
This is wonderful. So cheerful and bright. Perfect baby quilt.
I just love your baby quilt! I think I need one of those rulers myself!
This elongated version of triangles is so much chirpier and cute like a rosy bird beak! I wonder who is this lucky baby who is going to be wrapped in this gorgeousness!
Oh my so cute! Love all the fabric choices, you have such a great way with colors and prints. xo

(i don't think perfectamundo is a real word, but it fits!)
Lovely Nanette, I use that ruler quite a lot as well for making bunting!

I now have a well lit space in the basement to do my quilting. It sure beats packing everything up so we can use the dining room table!
Oh I just love this!
