Shoo Fly for my nephew

My little nephew was born last month and I sent him a quilt just after his birth. Their nursery was animal/jungle themed, so I was happy to find some cute fabric that seemed to coordinate with the theme. I did a basic shoo-fly block with a simple border and was pleased with the results. Here are some pics. The background fabric was a cute crayon print I found on my Lancaster trip.







In other quilting news, one of my fav local quilt shops had a "Cookies and Cocoa" open house today...what fun! Not only did they have delicious cookies, but everything was 25 or 30% off. This specific shop is about 30 min away and I don't get there often, so I stocked up! My wonderful husband stayed home with the kiddies while I went to a craft fair and then a quilt shop...what a guy!

Very cute! I didn't know you quilted, what we learn about people. What a great husband staying in the car for you, my husband will only do that if the kids are sleeping!

The quilt is so cute. I bet your brother and his wife were just thrilled with such a beautiful gift. Isn't it great when the men stay home with the kiddies while the moms get to go out and shop for ourselves? I hope you enjoyed your shopping.
