While all of the colors are really lovely, I was particularly drawn to the more neutral tones and felt like they would make a great baby boy quilt. This may have been on my mind because I have a 4 month old baby boy ;)
The fabrics were wonderful to work with and the finished project is so buttery soft. My favorite use for this fabric might be as the quilt binding.

Jaftex Corp. was founded in the 1930’s when Jacob A. Fortunoff started selling fabric on the streets of New York. At that time, the mainstay of the business was women’s sleepwear and lingerie. In the 80’s, Jacob’s grandson, Robert, dramatically changed the business of the company. The business focus was transferred to the over the counter quilt industry when Robert purchased companies like A.E. Nathan, Henry Glass, Stylemaker, Chanteclaire, Fabric Editions/Studioe and more recently The Blank Quilting Corp. Robert is now joined by his two sons, Scott and Greg. Scott currently is the President of Studioe Fabrics, The Blank Quilting Corp. & A.E. Nathan Co., Inc. Greg just joined the business in late 2014 and has successfully spearheaded the company’s foray in to precut fabrics among other contributions.

I love transparency quilts! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI would be leaving a comment even without the giveaway. Your quilt really caught my eye. Nice work. And I thank your baby for the inspiration. Lindafdoyle@verizon.net
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful quilt! I have a new (grand)baby boy also and I know his momma would love this. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThe Peppered Cottons that you use are just lovely! Beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love your plaid quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love your plaid quilt. I have 3 boys so I too like those baby boy designs. Peppered cottons are also a favorite. I am into solids lately and the "pepper" adds some texture while still reading solid.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors, perfect baby boy quilt.
ReplyDeleteI've been tempted by these at my LQS, but had limited funds at that time. Such a lovely drape and feel to them! Love this simple yet stunning quilt you have created. Now I have yet another option for my growing list of baby and lap quilts!
ReplyDeletePretty quilt and the fabric looks very nice and I need it!
ReplyDeletepatsystitch@gvtc.com
Baby boy quilts are a little more interesting to make than girl quilts. I'm not sure why that is exactly. I guess we just have to think outside the box a little differently. Great job and I like the way the colors segment into each other.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt. Perfect to snuggle under!
ReplyDeleteThe colors and pattern in your quilt are very nice. Love the combination of the colors.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors!
ReplyDeleteCute quilt for a baby boy. I just made a few mini quilts using peppered cotton. Love that it is a solid with personality. Nice and soft too!
ReplyDeleteI like Janie Lou in St. Louis!
ReplyDeleteI really love your quilt, so simple and clean, but so gorgeous! Have a great day! dawnm1993(at)gmail(dot)com
