My last post was brought to you by the letter C - for baby Caiden.
I sure don't want baby Harrison to feel left out. Especially with the two of them being cousins and all.
Sooooo ........
This post is brought to you by the letter - H
H is for Harrison.
~ Harrison Scott Larson ~
I've known his daddy, Seth, since he was a toddler.
And just like the whole Larson family,
Seth has a special place in my heart.
A few months ago, while I was at Hobby Lobby some pretty adorable fabric spoke to me. Actually, since this was my first ever time at Hobby Lobby nearly everything was speaking to me. Love that place!
That day in June it happened like this -
I was minding my own business and looking for fabrics for a pillow and maybe to cover the chairs on the back porch. As I came around a corner, all of a sudden, I looked down and there were Jungle Babies peeking at me! It was love at first sight! Baby monkeys {he's my favorite}, baby lions, baby giraffes and friends.

I had a feeling that this was it. This was the fabric meant for Harrison's quilt.
The coordinating striped fabric was a no brainer. I had to get some of that, too. But, I wasn't too sure about which fabric for the backing. {more on that later}
I knew I already had some solid greens, in various shades, left over from other projects to add to the quilt.
For the binding I would use the same blueish/greenish fabric I had used for the binding on Caiden's quilt.
Funny thing about some fabrics is that even though C's quilt and H's quilt are such different patterns and color schemes it looks great on both. Yay!
Here is Harrison's quilt! Cute and so boyish.
Hopefully, he'll snuggle with it and use it for lots of nap times and many years to come.
Top.... bottom.... left.... right.....
....which ever way Harrison looks there are some cute faces smiling at him.
For the actual quilting, I used a wavy stitch (instead of a straight stitch). It added a nice touch.
Peek-a-boo!
I admit that I'm usually not too keen on animal prints.
Not for my clothing or in my quilting.
she wanted to know, "Why not get the giraffe print, too?"
I decided to give it a try.
So glad I did. It's prefect for the quilt's back!
And of course I had to make a tote bag to match.
Those jungle babies are just too cute!
The inside is lined ...
... there they are peeking out at you!
So friend there you have it. The letter H with the cutest jungle babies ever.
Do you know of any baby quilts and totes that need to be made?
I still have 24 more letters to use. *wink*
Lots of love, thoughts and planning are put into the designing and making of each baby quilt. During the whole process I always pray for the baby and his/her mommy and daddy.
Best wishes to Seth and Monica!
Praying for God's blessings on you and your sweet baby boy as you now are a family of three!
Love ya,
