Zakka style quilt

This weeks Zakka project was the Block Quilt, which is a lovely simple patchwork design.

After using some of the blue Denyse Schmidt fabrics recently for a mini quilt swap, I decided to use some of them again as they look so fresh with the white sashing. 

I quilted it in straight lines along the rows of blocks.

And backed it in a blue print that I think was just right for this quilt.

This is going to be given to a lovely lady at my work who is expecting her first baby at the end of the year - not sure if she is having a boy or a girl but the quilt will be fine either way.
