arrgh! it's a pirate quilt

This fun little quilt was a gift for my sweet friend Tracy and her darling baby Colin. I loved this pattern from Allison's book Growing Up Modern and I wanted to make something special for Tracy and her husband Matt, especially since Tracy is nice enough to read the blog from time to time!

The block assembly was a breeze with Allison's instructions.

I collected these 3 pirate prints at my fave place, M & L Fabrics, and I added the brown dot and the turquoise print to go along. I liked the way the brights were set off by the white, and how cute is that red and white pirate stripe?!

I quilted with intersecting vertical and horizontal lines (which didn't give me too much trouble this time) and backed with this multi-color dot. I think it turned out bright and fun and I hope it gets lots and lots of use by baby Colin!
