I have been quilting on this piece of grandmothers flower garden fabric. I call it a cheater because all I had to do was sandwich it with a comfy piece of purple fleece and start quilting away. I finally finished the quilting today. I searched around for the perfect binding and all I could come up with was an elegant deep purple/blue, nothing else worked. I hope to get that stitched on tomorrow. I wish I had backed this fabric with the white fleece. Oh well, next time.
It's quite large for a baby quilt; 42 x 56. I suppose when the child is a toddler,she can still haul it around and make it useful. I also like to make a 'somewhat matching' set, a smaller piece, about 30 inches square which is a nice size to fold up an infant in and to toss over a carseat or stroller.
