Sea Life Baby Quilt

Happy Monday morning!

I have another finish to share today.

My piles are slowly disappearing and so far

I haven't been making new piles!

We will see how long this lasts.

I finished another baby quilt and

absolutely love the fabrics used in this one.

I had a layer cake of these beautiful fabrics called

"Calypso" by In the Beginnings

and then found this pattern that calls for a layer cake.

I had the blue polka dot grunge for the background

and started cutting the pieces.

 

It didn't take me long before I had the quilt top finished.

There is an outer border that I didn't add because I didn't

want the quilt to be that big.

 

 

This fabric is digitally printed

and is so vibrant and beautiful.

 

I had to really think about how to quilt it and am pleased with

what I came  up with for this one.

It's nothing fancy and was fast and pretty easy.

While making this baby quilt,

the directions called for 52 HST's for the border.

I read that as needing to cut 52 4" squares to use

for the HST's.

Yep... you guessed it... I had 52 HST's left!

When life gives you extra quilt parts,

make another quilt!

Pinwheels were made from the HST's and I had enough

layer cake pieces to fill in with those.

 

My photo is slightly blurry, but I love the fish in this print.

 

This one will be sewn together and borders will be added

to make another baby quilt.

Woohoo!! for mistakes!

I'm linking to Design Wall Monday today.

Happy Quilting!
