Gifts for Baby Milo

I made these for baby Milo Martin, soon to make his appearance. His mama is filling his nursery with birds, so I made him the bird mobile from Spool and I think it turned out really well. I like it so much I might make one for myself!

This little quilt coordinates with Milo's car seat, which happens to be the same style and color as the one that Emmett used. (Nice choice!) I wanted to make something a little less traditional, and was inspired by this quilt by Film in the Fridge. Playing with hexies was so much fun! I used some of the Heather Ross pieces I got off of Etsy for the hexagons and some Kona in Light Gray and some yellow stuff from Hancock...in retrospect I would have paid attention to how I cut and pieced the polka dot hexies, but I was in a major time crunch so I stopped going for perfection and just went for done. I machine quilted it at the very last minute and eyeballed the whole thing. It is amazing that it turned out so cute because I seriously had my doubts.
