Natalia’s Baby Quilt: Scrappy Day Trip

I have to tell you that I’m totally obsessed with this quilt. As usual, I wanted to keep it for myself, but at least this one stayed in the family!

Scrappy Day Trip Pattern

I attempted something similar in this modified Irish Chain quilt... but without Red Pepper Quilts’ amazing pattern, it was far from perfect. Rita (Red Pepper Quilts) explains which way to press the seams so everything nests beautifully. I was so so happy with this pattern!! Go make it!

looks like something weird is happening with the binding, but it’s actually the quilt folded… didn’t notice that when I took the photo….

Since I was making a baby quilt, I went for a little smaller than the pattern with only 4 blocks across and 5 down (not sure that makes sense, so look at the pattern). It worked out to fit on a throw sized batting (60×60), but I can’t remember the exact dimensions of my quilt.

Whenever I make one for myself, I’ll be using a jelly roll (my fav!), but there’s a few quilts queued up before that haha

The Fabric Choices

My sister-in-law isn’t much for posting on social media, so I didn’t have much to go on for nursery design and all that. We know she’s having a girl, but she doesn’t love all things pink. When I saw the Dusty Rose & Steel bundle on fabricbubb, I knew it was perfect!

I made a bigger bundle with a couple other fabrics… the used Kaufman Linen in Ivory and Berry (LOVE LINEN) for the solids. Here’s a list of the other fabrics I used. I didn’t order enough and had to pull a little from my stash, but I made it work (“Designers… make it work”).
