Here is another variation on the Housndtooth Quilt pattern that I made. This one was a gift for a good friend's new baby. The baby is due any day now and they are decorating his nursery in black and white prints with a few pops of blue and yellow mixed in. These are going to be some of the trendiest parents I know so their baby's quilt had to be something special! Obviously I changed the number of blocks from the original size which means you can also adjust the amount of fabric yardage from the original pattern. I didn't actually calculate the amount I used but may do that if there's enough interest.
Here's a pic from the back:
I ordered the backing from Spoonflower. I knew they were getting these crib sheets from Land of Nod so I wanted to coordinate with those. By the time the fabric arrived from Spoonflower I was in a bit of a time crunch to finish this quilt so my only frustration here was that the white from the front of my quilt is a crisp white and the background on the cloud fabric is sort of creamy. As a perfectionist this bugs me but it was too late to come up with another plan. As much as I appreciate the ability to order fabrics online it does add the challenge of not being able to match things as perfectly as you could when shopping in person.
Hope you enjoy the Houndstooth Quilts I've made so far. I'm sure there will be more to post in the future! Please comment with any questions. Thanks for looking!
