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.

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!
ReplyDeleteLove those blocks, and how I wish I had fresh tomatoes just outside my door (but I would need a garden for that lol)
ReplyDeleteI love when my tomatoes start ripening also. They are so good just to munch on. I love the pattern you created for the quilt.
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks! I love blues and greens together for boys...
ReplyDeleteYour 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!
ReplyDeleteJust 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!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of this quilt, and would like to know if there is a pattern. It looks maybe paper pieced?
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I love how the white pops out.

ReplyDeleteThe navy and green are so fun, what a lucky boy he will be!
ReplyDeleteI'm with the other commentors on this one... pretty prettyyyy please, share the pattern, it's simple and beautiful!!!
Sorry for the deleted comment, I had a spelling fail ;)
I love this colour combination and the blocks that were made with it!! It makes me wish that I had some of these colours in my stash. I may have to go out to get some :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute blocks. They will make a fabulous quilt.
ReplyDeleteI'm partial to the colors. Best it'll be great!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the quilt blocks...perfect for a baby boy! I have the same problem...I wait and wait to start projects because I so want to have the perfect pattern for the fabric! Or vice versa!
ReplyDeleteLove the blue and green combination! My son's room is blue and green too.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the finished product!
Really love those blue/green/navy blocks. Glad that navy is back, also. And I'm also loving those tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteLove the blue and green!
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE the way this quilt is coming together. The colors are great (I'm a navy lover too!) and the design is perfect for the fabrics. Can't wait to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more! So glad to see navy popping up on the radar again. And gotta love those Summer tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteI really like those blocks! And mostly from your stash - that's super!
ReplyDeleteVery cool blocks!~ I like navy in quilts too. Your tomatoes look yummy!
ReplyDeleteYou'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.
ReplyDeleteI love how these blocks have turned out!
Can't wait to see the finished project. I love the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt. I find it's hard to find fabrics for "male" quilts. Your selections and patterns are perfect.
ReplyDeleteloving the look of your quilt. great fabric choices!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is going to be awesome!! I would say lovely, but it's a boy quilt. :)
ReplyDeleteThe blocks are so lovely, wonderful colors/fabrics and the tomatoes look tasty!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous new project...I could see this working well with a jelly roll and a bit of yardage :o)
ReplyDeleteVery 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.
ReplyDeleteWow! I love the blocks and combination of colors. Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteThose blocks are so fun! Love the colors! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the blocks! Hopefully you'll be putting out a pattern in your shop soon? I hope! I'm a huge navy fan too!
ReplyDeleteI love your blocks...very inspirational. I think I will have to go shopping in my stash and make some of those blocks. Good Job! Your toms. are beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteI just fell in love with those blocks! The colors are so perfect together! I don't blame you a bit for not wanting to stop ;) Will there be a pattern soon?
ReplyDeleteSmiles~Beth
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!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful color combination! Can't wait to see the finished quilt! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your pattern work with the fabrics!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe you have such nice looking tomatoes - the Texas heat literally has done in our tomatoes.
Enjoy.
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. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the navy too -- and I LOVE it with the green -- VERY cute!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, tomatoes . . . :)
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!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
