Noah's Quilt in progress

This is what I have so far. I was having a little trouble deciding on a pattern for this fabric. This quilt is for Noah and the fabric has a Noah's ark theme. I saw this technique on a youtube video several months ago. It came to mind to me a few days ago. I found these great Northcott tone on tone prints to go with the focus fabric over the weekend. The backing will be the yellow print and the binding will be the blue. This was a lot of FUN. I'll be making this block again! I started with strips.
Then I used a template I had to cut the shape out.


Here is a finished block. I love the effect!

Let's Play Cowboys & Indians!

Here is what I have so far. This is a setting that I like because of the effect it creates. I think the top is too long. Behind the top is a baby quilt, you can see that even without borders the top is a little long. If I was making this for a child I would probably just add borders to it. But, it's for a baby so the last design row is going to be taken off.

Yesterday, we found out that our next grandchild will be a boy. Today I started a quilt top for him. The name of the quilt will be "Let's Play Cowboys & Indians". I'm looking forward to seeing how these fabrics work together.
