Tacia’s Baby Quilt

There’s some very exciting news happening at Brooklyn Quilting Co.  One of my oldest and dearest friends, Tacia, is having a baby!  Tacia and I have been friends since we were around 13-years-old and this is the first baby for her and her husband.  Needless to say, we are all very excited.

They have decided to keep the baby’s gender a secret and the only direction I got for nursery colors are gray, white—very neutral colors.  I reallllly want to know what she’s having and I tried everything to get it out of her, but no dice!  So, I made a neutral quilt.

A lot of times for baby quilts I like to do a simple half square triangle quilt.  They’re classic, easy and always look great.

And for the back of the quilt I often like to choose a patterned fabric to go with the simple solid half square triangle front.  I had this great piece of Japanese fabric from Kokka called Cosmic Zoo and it is the perfect neutral quilt back.

I don’t think the pictures do it justice, but the Kokka fabric is really special and ties the whole thing together.

Congrats, Tacia!  I can’t wait to meet Baby B!
