Baby's Arrival Quilt

This weekend I tried my first quilt using the Strip Tube Ruler by Cozy Quilt Designs.  What a great tool!  This ruler lets you create stunning looks with such ease.  The pattern I selected is called "Freestyle Roman Stripes" from the book "Strip Tubing" by Daniela Stout and Georgette Dell'Orco.  The book is published by Cozy Quilt Designs (ISBN 9780979531651).

I named this quilt "Baby's Arrival".  My husband's cousin is having a baby at the end of this month and we are all so excited.  The couple decided to keep the baby's gender a secret, hence the neutral green used in the quilt.  The finished size of the quilt is 32"x40" and is made from part of a Moda honeybun called "Wonderland".  The back of the quilt is "Posh" by Chez Moi for Moda (pattern #15881).

Here is a picture of the single blocks before being sewn together:

Finally, here is the backing fabric with the binding I will use once the quilt is long-arm stitched:

The quilt was long-arm quilted by Sew Delightful in Northport, Alabama.

Here is my husband pretending to sleep with the baby quilt...silly!
