A Quilt for a New Grandson
When I was in Tennessee recently for my nephew's wedding I found this quilt at Tennessee Quilts in Jonesboro, an amazing quilt shop. I had been looking for a quilt for my new grandson who will be arriving in July.
You can't see it in the above the quilt, but many of the colors in the border fabrics were very pinkish and coral which I didn't want in a boy's quilt. Here's my version below. Most of the border fabric I had on hand. I did buy the polka dots-who can resist polka dots!
My quilter as usual did a fun quilt design. So I have got to get going on binding on this soon.
I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day. We'll be at my son and daughter in law's house, painting the room that grandson #1 is moving into to free up the nursery for his baby brother who'll be here in July. 
What a great quilt! I really like your version better. It is not as busy as the shop sample. Hope the baby has many years of enjoyment.
