So many baby boys

Everyone I know is having babies!  Last year it was all girls, this year it seemed to be all boys.  These were a couple of the baby quilts I made earlier this year.

For my friend Jen's baby boy, Sammy Rey (how much do you love that name?).  I have to admit it was a kit I picked up from JoAnn's.  I love the turquoise and brown, the old fashioned images of active little kids, the panels of type, and the different textures of fabric - flannel, cotton-weave, and velour....now I'm kind of wishing I'd put a satin binding on it, to add one more.

For my friend Art's kiddo, Tristan.  A mish-mash of super-cute flannel fabrics I bought on sale.  Used some simple instructions I found online.  (Can't seem to find the link I used anymore.)  Almost too simple....I think now.

Recently came across these in a store.  Took me a second to realize what they were, but once I did, I kept on wanting to say pee-pee-tee-pee....and giggle.  I almost bought them, but before I walked up to the counter thought, "What are you doing?  You can totally make these!"



I did a quick search and someone else already came up with a pattern (and another hilarious name) The Wee Wee Wigwam.  I'll have to make these for the next boy baby.
