Scrappy Mountains Majesty

I decided for my next door neighbor's new baby boy that I would make him a quilt instead of trying to knit something, since I'm still working on a knit one for a baby girl that was born in May (oops). When I saw, Bonnie Hunter post a Scrappy Mountains Majesty that someone else had made on her Facebook page, I decided that that was the pattern I wanted to use for this little boy. Towards then end of the pattern, she offers a few variations on how to lay it out and one of those really struck me. I could see pinwheels trying to stand out in it. I then rounded up some of my more boyish fabrics (I have quite a few.) and picked the ones I thought paired well and played well together. I utilized the extra sew day my friends scheduled in December to get it done and even added borders. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. Now to figure out how I'm going to quilt it (or get it quilted). What do you think?

You know, CROCHETING is a much faster way to do baby blankets! *wink wink* (but seriously- it is so much faster and more interesting to make blankets with, IMO. Knitting is great for some things, and crochet is great for some things. IMO crochet wins for "best blanket-making"
