Riley Blake baby quilt

I was asked to make a quilt for a new baby using Riley Blake's "Daisy Cottage" line.  We mixed in with Riley Blake chevrons (zig zag!) also by request, and some pretties from my stash (my favorite - Alexander Henry's keys, which unfortunately you can't see as it's folded down the other side of the maple branch, and others whose names I have long forgotten).
Baby quilt for Rowan

It was so quick and fun to make!

baby quilt - back

The back, with a favorite gift my niece presented for my baby, a handmade mobile from Tanzania.   The pink is 1930s Pink by Moda's Bella Solids.  This is the first I've used and noticed absolutely no difference in quality from Kona solids.  I may begin buying Bella solids because my LQS doesn't carry many Konas, I just hope I don't get utterly confused which is what when it's time to re-order!

    It's adorable! Great work. I LOVE the Alexander Henry keys. There's something really clean and refreshing about just regular ole patchwork. I love it.

    Cute!

    Perhaps my favorite type of quilting is on the diagonal. :)

    Wonderful quilt! The colour combo is very fresh!

    I write the name of the solid on the selvage so that I can remember when the time comes to use it or order more.
