“Rookie of the Year” quilts

Jaybird Quilts created a wonderful new book called 

Quilts for Baby & Beyond. 

The twins were arriving soon and it was

just the inspiration I needed to give a pattern from the book a try!

The quilt I decided on is called “Rookie of the Year” and its round. She designed it round so it can be used when baby is in the stroller. 

This way none of the edges drag!! 

(I ended up having to go with flat sides

though due to fabric shortage... 

but I am happy with them.)

I found this wonderful science print 

that I cut for both centers. 

Then I cut up a stack of bright solids

 and made sure it included 

the same colors in each- 

but layed them out in different patterns.

It was a very simple pattern using my 

Jaybird Quilts Sidekick Ruler

I placed a fusible batting in the middle

and used a grey Minky for the backing.

When it was time for a binding,

I decided to go 2 different colors 

to give it a bit more variation...

And here is what I ended up with!

I could hardly wait to surprise my DD 

and grandson with this visits deliveries!
