This pile of fabric is for a project has been on my 'to-do' list for way to long. It's a baby present for someone who is approaching his first birthday. Yikes. Part of my problem is that I couldn't decide on the perfect pattern.
Then I came up with this. Now I don't want to stop! Almost all the fabrics came from my stash (which is totally awesome) with the exception of the Robert Kaufman Metro Living navy circles (which I got here) and some Sarah Jane navy polkadots (available here.) I love that navy blue is growing popular again. It's been kind of scarce lately. I've always been a navy fan.
And just for fun, I thought I'd share a picture of my lunch. Right from the garden. (The orange ones are ripe - I've never grown those kind before. They're equally good.) Another reason September is my favorite month of the year.

Perfect pattern for those fabrics! Now you just need to add a scoop of cottage cheese to those tomatoes to make my favorite lunch this time of year!

Love those blocks, and how I wish I had fresh tomatoes just outside my door (but I would need a garden for that lol)
Laurie Parrack
I love when my tomatoes start ripening also. They are so good just to munch on. I love the pattern you created for the quilt.

Your blocks are over the top fabulous! I think that quilt will be worth the wait! Is there a pattern for that block? I LOVE the way the white frames everything and I agree...three cheers for navy!

Just love the blocks and especially the colors...just perfect. Can you tell where to find this pattern? I have a huge stash and this would be a very good choice to reduce some of it. Thanks so much!

I love the colors of this quilt, and would like to know if there is a pattern. It looks maybe paper pieced?
Karen
I love your 'baby' quilt... and I'm sure he will... it's such an attractive pattern in great fabrics... and as for your tomatoes, you have to see if you can grow some of the ones that are small (grape tomato size) and shaped like pears... they are delicious!

Looks great! I love how the white pops out.

Very cool blocks!~ I like navy in quilts too. Your tomatoes look yummy!

You're right about the scarcity of navy fabrics! I've been gathering fabrics for a navy and white quilt, and have been surprised how hard it is to find navy.<br /><br />I love how these blocks have turned out!
Suzi
Can't wait to see the finished project. I love the pattern.

I love the quilt. I find it's hard to find fabrics for "male" quilts. Your selections and patterns are perfect.
Rhonda
loving the look of your quilt. great fabric choices!
MaryMargaret
I adore those blocks! These colors and patterns remind me of men's ties- perfect for a little boy. I'd also love to know where we can find the pattern! And your lunch looks completely delicious. Our tomatoes are done for the season- it was just too hot.
Dawn
That quilt is going to be awesome!! I would say lovely, but it's a boy quilt. 🙂
Sau
The blocks are so lovely, wonderful colors/fabrics and the tomatoes look tasty!

Gorgeous new project...I could see this working well with a jelly roll and a bit of yardage :o)
Michele
Very cool blocks. I can't wait to see the finished quilt. I am jealous of your tomatoes. We moved this spring so I didn't get to plant this year at all. I am anxiously waiting for the opportunity next year.
Kim @ NewlyWoodwards
Wow! I love the blocks and combination of colors. Can't wait to see more!

Those blocks are so fun! Love the colors! 🙂

Love your "mater" photo. We grew orange ones this year, too. We also grew pink ones and black ones. Makes for a cool looking salsa. Enjoy!
Anna
What a beautiful color combination! Can't wait to see the finished quilt! 🙂
Ginnie's Gems
Love your pattern work with the fabrics! <br /><br />Can't believe you have such nice looking tomatoes - the Texas heat literally has done in our tomatoes.<br />Enjoy.
paige
Beautiful! These colors and the pattern would be perfect for my new baby boy to-be's room. I'm hoping you will share a quick tutorial on making the blocks. 🙂
Thimbleanna
I love the navy too -- and I LOVE it with the green -- VERY cute!
Micki
I love the blocks! I've been trying to find a good scheme/pattern for my almost four year old and this is the best I've seen!<br /><br />Mmmm, tomatoes . . . 🙂
Amanda
Oh, those blocks are so beautiful! Please, please share how you put them together. I have a little problem with sewing in straight lines, but I would try to change my ways for these blocks!
BJ and Amber
I love the fabrics and the pattern! Where did you find the pattern? Is it one you're willing to share? Your blog is great, you're very talented!
