This is a rather untraditional baby quilt, made for Benjamin’s brother, Dominic Easton. He was born right on his due date, April 9, 2001 — a very cooperative baby! He weighed 6 lbs., 15 oz., and was 19″ long. This is a plaid pattern I took from a pattern by Debbie Caffrey, and it’s machine pieced and machine quilted. The machine quilting is a combination of straight lines along the plaid lines and hearts in some of the plain squares. The border has a pattern of adjoining hearts. The quilt is approximately 44″ square.
Here’s a picture of part of the back, where you can see the border quilting if you try very hard and squint just right! 😉
And, finally, here is Dominic with his quilt.
