Baby Chevron Quilt Complete

I finally finished the layette set I have been working on for a friend.  I don't have a crib to display the bumper pads and skirt, but the Mommy-to-be has promised to send me a pic once she gets it set up in the nursery.  I definitely wanted to document the quilt though.  I never get tired of chevron.

I made it a bit larger than the standard crib quilt, hopefully he will get a few good years of use out of it.  The solids are all Kona Cotton.  I backed it with Michael Miller Backyard Party in grey.  Such a perfect fabric for a little boy.

I quilted along the diagonal lines of the chevron pattern with pale aqua thread.

I used a double binding of the Kona Robin Egg and the geometric print that was used for the bumper pads, Moda Ticklish Joking Around Explosive Orange.  I love to add a little detail when I can.  I always stitch my binding down by hand, it's like added a special little TLC to each project.  The process really makes such a difference in the transformation from work in progress to finished object.

I'm excited to start my next set, another friend wants one for their upcoming baby girl.  Everyone I know that's had a baby in the past 2 years have had boys.  I'm already researching ruffles and other methods of adding frilliness.
