Balloons in the Park - Hot Air Balloon baby crib quilt PDF pattern

***THIS ITEM IS A DOWNLOADABLE PDF PATTERN TO BE USED TO MAKE THIS QUILT. NO PHYSICAL ITEM WILL BE SHIPPED.***

My husband and I visited some family members while on a road trip, and we got to meet their beautiful new son! He's just the cutest, with these adorable, perfectly pinchable cheeks...but I digress. His room has a wall of hot air balloon decals above his crib, and I took that as the inspiration for this pattern. It's sort of a fun play on an I Spy quilt, with bright scraps making up the balloons. Mine included stars, suns, bubbles, jellybeans, M&M's, swirls, crayons, boats, and of course...balloons! This balloon is even well sized for a 3" charm, if you happen to have a stash of them as I do.

This is also the most intricately I've ever quilted any quilt I've made. I am including a quilting diagram for anyone that chooses to use it. When I'm planning my quilting, I take a long time deciding what I'll do, so this one took even longer than normal. I thought I'd use this as an opportunity to practice, since a 5 month old is hardly going to criticize. I personally love how the balloons are puffy and round. I love this quilt almost as much from the back as from the front!

I had a lot of fun designing this one, and I hope you'll enjoy making it as well!
