June's Color Block Quilt* is And Baby Makes Three. I couldn't love this quilt more if I tried.
Despite my deep dislike for piecing quilts on point, once I had this quilt sketched out, I simply had to run with it.
Instead of picking a single color for the blocks, I pulled out scraps of different pastel-colored fabric and stitched them together in blocks. I omitted pink since some folks are biased against pink in baby boy quilts. What colors will you choose for your quilt?
I chose gray fabric for my contrast to ensure that the pastel Color Blocks wouldn't make the quilt too pastel if you know what I mean. The gray toned it down a bit.
I now have to decide if how I am going to quilt this quilt. I can quilt it block by block or in strips or edge-to-edge or ....? What would you do?
Head to Color Blocks 2025, join the free class, and download the And Baby Makes Three pattern and printable Planning Page so you can stitch along!

All of the Color Block quilts for 2025 will be suitable for babies. If you are new to Color Blocks Scrap Quilts, every quilt starts with an 8" sixteen patch block made from squares. I have cut all of my scraps into 2 1/2" squares and piece up some Color Blocks when I need some brainless sewing. Then I can grab a few and quickly piece together a quilt.
