Parker's Quilt

 I took the kids to Mesa in June and gifted this quilt to my sister-in-law, Diana, who was about to have her baby boy. We ended up missing his birth by only a few days, darn it!

 

I bought this whale fabric awhile ago and wanted to use it in a boy quilt somehow. Usually I don't buy "novelty" prints, because I focus on building up my stash with more basic prints, but I really liked the whales. It took me awhile to figure how to showcase them and in the end I chose to make economy blocks.
