Baby Quilt Finish

We have friends who are expecting their first baby in August...

A Girl.

You know that meant a baby quilt needed to be made!

The top has been finished for a while,

and I finished sewing the binding on it today.

A bright, fun, happy quilt for a new little girl.

 

I quilted "modern" flowers on it and am pretty pleased

with my efforts.

(Just don't look too closely! :D)

 

As I have mentioned recently, making the backing is my least favorite

part of quilting. I didn't have enough of the lavender fabric for the back,

so decided to use some of the extra squares and HST's to make it big enough.

I have to say, I love the back!

It's difficult to see, but I had made the backing longer then I needed,

so I was able to cut some binding strips from the extra.

The binding has little sections of the squares and HST fabric interspersed

along the way.

I am making progress on the other baby quilt I am making.

The triangles are all sewn together...

 

...and it's trimmed.

Now I need to sew the borders on to this.

Aren't those daisy's just too cute and happy!

This little quilt makes me smile.
