Baby Quilt

Here are some blocks laid out on my "design bed".  I have a small design wall, but sometimes the bed just works better, and the blocks don't get blown off by the fan.  I hope that this gets a lot better when it's sewn together.  I think as usual, my idea of a baby quilt is more like a small child quilt (maybe not even that small)  It will be a little under 42 inches by 54 inches finished.   I don't plan on a border, and I plan on using a red binding.  A long time ago I saved a picture of a quilt that I liked and that looked easy in my folder "Quilts to Make", and this is my take on it.  The one I got the idea from was green and red with plain blocks.  I would show the picture, but I don't want to offend someone, since I can't remember where I saw it.

I didn't need to start anything else either, but I went over to Bonnie's site and I've started my bow ties in cheddar and repros.....but I'm seeing others (like yours) in brighter colors so I may switch and then use the cheddar/repros for a little quilt. I've also seen Floribunda over there, and I have yellow and florals out for that. I'm going to blame it on the heat. Your blocks are wonderful!
