A Custom Quilt for Zachary

Big boy Zachary is ready to transition
from his crib to a toddler bed!  So his mom asked me to make a quilt designed especially for him.  
She had few requirements in terms of what she wanted the quilt to look like (based on a little questionnaire I gave her):
-mostly solid fabrics
-a light background
-asymmetrical design
-geometric and organic
-and modern vs traditional


She also wanted me to incorporate some of the fabric from the bed-skirt of his crib:

which also dictated the colors and fabrics  

I began by making some wonky squares:

And by looking at the bed-skirt hanging down sideways on my design wall...

I was inspired to add some stripes that would run across the quilt and 'through' the blocks:

Since the design is geometric, I added some organic (or wavy) quilting lines:

I hope that both Zachary and his mom are happy with the finished product!

Sweet Dreams Zachary!
