Quilty As Charged

This quilt (my second) is a gift for my niece M. She's having a boy, so I felt comfortable incorporating a chocolate brown and a bright blue, in addition to orange and the pale greens into the design.

It's a block pattern, measuring 35" x 35", using bold print fabrics from Michael Miller, Sandi Henderson, Denyse Schmidt, and Park Slope. In order to visualize the arrangement of pattern and color, I scanned the fabric and created thumbnail sketches to scale on my computer. It was machine quilted in a few early morning sessions.
