navy + parchment baby quilt...

... all finished :).

 

I'm really glad I talked myself into not using my usual white or gray solid fabric. Instead I went with Kona Parchment and I absolutely love how it lets all the navy prints shine.

 

 

I used polyester batting I had on hand and I'm still deciding on whether it was a good choice or not. I quite like the poofy, super soft texture it gave the finished quilt, but all that loft proved to be quite tricky when it came to quilting. I think I'll save the rest of my poly batting for tied quilts and little poofy comforters :).

I worried a bit about stripe overload when I decided to go with striped backing as well as binding, but I think it kind of works here. Wouldn't you agree?
