A Baby Boy Quilt: Paths in Central Park

Yea, a finish! 

It feels like I've been in the middle of several works in progress for so long that I am happy to say I finished one of three baby quilts yesterday. 
The fabric is not as wavy as it appears.

All fresh and crinkly from the dryer.  

I have used this Central Park fabric for three boy quilts so far and just love it. 

I quilted it along the seams and then added random straight line quilting at various angles. I love the effect.

It was super easy using my Hera marker which makes a crease in your fabric-no masking tape or fabric markers needed. (Thanks for introducing me to the Hera marker Lindsey!) 

This quilt is 38x 38 and is going to my Etsy shop and then to my friend Aynsley's fabulous boutique Cottage Chic.  (I love everything in there but that is another post!)

Stay tuned as I am sewing the binding on two more baby quilts and can't wait to show you! 

PS: Thanks for all the suggestions and love about the tan circle quilt.  Y'all were full of great ideas and perspective. I really appreciated it!

WOnderful! That was one of my favorite prints from the Central Park line. Just great as a baby quilt! I am sort of clueless about that Hera marker...I did look at your link, though. It just makes a crease in the fabric?

My Hera marker is my best friend. Love the quilt, Central Park is one of my favorites right now.

That's twice today I've heard about Hera markers - I'd never heard of them before!

That quilt and the quilting are both really excellent - the backing is perfect too!

What a perfect baby quilt! I love everything at Cottage Chic too - trying to figure out if I can get rid of my boys Saturday to go to their sale!
