One of my very good friends from college is currently expecting her first baby. Her and her husband met at Ohio State and are big Buckeyes fans. As soon as I found out she was pregnant I started searching Pinterest for baby quilt ideas. I found a ton of cute patterns, but wasn't crazy about any of them. Then it hit me, an OSU inspired quilt! It is gender neutral for a boy or girl, but I know their little boy will love this as he grows up.
I followed this tutorial I found on Pinterest. I won't go into detail as to how I made this quilt, since I basically followed the tutorial exactly. The only thing I changed was the size. I made this one smaller than the one in the tutorial since it will be for a baby.
I just love how this quilt turned out! I think it is so fun! The colors and prints are so fun and I love that the lattice pattern slightly resembles a "Block O" pattern.
Quilt Specs:
33" x 43"
Face - cotton quilting fabrics
Binding - I made the bias tape out of a black cotton quilting fabric.
Back - gray quilter's flannel
Quilting Pattern - free motion in an all over squiggle pattern
You can see more of my sewing projects and quilts I have completed on my Facebook Page and Etsy Shop.
I had so much fun making this quilt for my friend's baby boy. I am glad I finished it in time so that I could give this to her and her husband at their baby shower this weekend. I think they liked it and I'm sure their little one will too!
