She'd asked for something to go with the beach-themed nursery... they live by the beach so it made complete sense! I decided to do a giant courthouse step quilt, and I reckon it kind of looks like the beach, doesn't it?
I collected a bunch of teals, aquas, and creams in various shades so that it wouldn't look so flat. I love that it turned out like what I'd hoped it would! I quilted it in a simple grid in white thread and bound it in a slightly paler aqua than what I'd used in the quilt. I decided that was the best option because if I used cream, it'd fade into the creams... if I used aqua, it'd fade into the aquas... My thought process is riveting, isn't it?

Very pretty! Such an effective combination of geometric pattern and soft colors. Good choice on the binding, and I DO like hearing your thought process!
Love it! Simply stunning.....
That is really so pretty!
I'm a sucker for log-cabiny. It's a sickness. The quilt is lovely, though; that's not just the sickness talking. :-)
I loved the thought process...made perfect sense to me. and this is a great quilt, so baby yet a modern sophistication at the same time.
This is gorgeous! I have a baby quilt to make soon and might have to do a large Courthouse Step myself :) Great idea.
