I fell in love with these fabrics last winter when they went on clearance prices. They are from the Marmalade collection of my favorite designers Bonnie & Camille. Of course I couldn't pass up that opportunity. I ended up purchasing a half yard of all three front colors and the red/white striped binding. Then I also purchased a yard of the red floral backing. Luckily it was just enough fabric. I think there might have been two-three inch strips leftover. 
When I found out last July they were expecting, I knew this would make the best baby quilt for them. Mary Ann's just loves the color red from her high school prom dress to their wedding colors and even included in her home decor. I started sewing it right away. It's been done and stored away since the end of summer.
I did get a little scared a month ago when she had the baby shower. They wanted to be surprised with what the baby was at birth, but she was almost for sure it was a boy. So there is now a warm and cozy boy blanket stored away.
