OK! As promised, here I am to share baby Brandon’s quilt. He will be a YEAR OLD (seriouslyyy?!!) next month and he is growing up to be one chill AF kid. It feels like he was a squishy mushy little peanut just yesterday! And now look at his cute little peek-a-boo face. Ohi bud!

I made this quilt for him a year ago and gave it to his then-parents-to-be at the baby shower on Halloween. Preggers Kiki was a sunny side up fried egg, Roland was bacon. The egg yolk was known as baby KiRo in those days. 🍳🐣

This was the first quilt that I made on my Husqvarna Viking Sapphire 930, the machine I bought – and promptly fell in love with – last September.

I used Windham’s Citrus charm squares to make a simple patchwork quilt with borders. I love the juicy colors. The Lizzie House constellation border fabric came from the swap table at a guild meeting. Lucky find! It was pre-washed, and the rest of my fabric wasn’t, so I had no choice but to violate a major quilt police law: never mix pre-washed and non-pre-washed fabrics. The world ended.

JK, it was totally fine.

I stippled the patchwork section, and FMQ’d loops and bubbles on the borders.

Before laundering. Ooh la la, so smooth!

After laundering. Ooh la la, so crinkly and ready for snuggling!

The back is a Citron polka dot by Timeless Treasures. This color is so delicious!

A section of squares that I sewed together with the wrong seam allowance went into the back. Happy accident!

Scrappy binding.

And nowadays this quilt is right where it belongs, under Brandawg’s smooshy lil bum. 🐥
