Elephants and Apples - for my newborn cousin, Max! |
Patchwork Backside |
My cousin's Jonathan and Lauren in Michigan (also Jonah's parents of the Super Star Quilt fame) welcomed baby Max in early March - so I quickly got to work on this fun and funky baby quilt to welcome him to the family. I used Jacquie Gehring's Modern Dresden Plate chapter from "Block Party" for the Elephant circles on the front.
Who doesn't love these Elephants? |
or this great "boy" color palette? |
For the back, I went with a random Patchwork design with a big MAX, of course! I love the mix of the peacock blue with the apple green and greys mixed in. Sew Modern once again came through with some great graphic fabrics, including a few of Denyse Schmidt's Flea Market Fancy re-release.

Max's quilt was delivered today, and his mom texted me that he LOVES it! Well, he is a very smart 2 month old after all. I hope he spends many a day and night cuddled up with his very own Elephant and Apples quilt. Enjoy Max, Jonathan, Lauren and Jonah!
