For the Boys Quilt Top

A couple weeks ago I received an order from Lark Cottons that was just what I needed to get started on a new project.  I had unintentionally ordered coordinating fabrics.

I ended up adding and subtracting a couple prints, but it seemed like these fabrics plus . . .

this book were a great combination.  I knew it wouldn't be long until I needed to make something from Jen Kingwell's book, and this is one of the few quilting books where I think I could eventually make all of the projects.  It is amazing.

I decided to start with a pattern called For the Boys (which makes me get this song stuck in my head every time I think of it).

I made mine a little smaller than the pattern and left off the outer borders.  I don't normally share quilt tops, but I am planning on hand quilting this one for the baby and it might be a while before it's finished.  This is a great pattern, especially for a baby boy quilt, and one I could definitely see myself using in the future.

Fabrics used that are still available: Chicopee, Hello Bear, Daysail, Cookie Book, and Revelry (this will be the backing).
