A different one for me

  What fun this baby quilt turned out to be.   I love the pinwheels.  And I used every bit of the scrap of rose and pink print that I had to finish off the border.


  I only had enough scrap for 7  squares of that print, which worked just perfect between strips of white to make a border.   The multi-color print became the binding, as it was the only fabric of which I had enough yardage.

   I quilted  swirls and jester's hat in an all over pattern using white thread.   The over all look is so different for me to do.....this is soft and girly.  A perfect little Quilted Blessing.













 
Did you find any eggs yet?  Sir Old Man has been playing Easter Bunny this weekend.    See what I found when I opened the drawer by my sewing machine?   I found one last night on my pillow.  I believe there is one more yet to discover.  I better keep looking.......happy stitching.

That baby quilt turned out beautiful. Talk about using up all your fabric scraps...you must be the Scrap Queen! The FM quilting is perfect & I love the unique border. I keep trying to think like you ~~~ out of the box. Your DH is soooo sweet.

The baby quilt is wonderful - love the texture the quilting gives to it and softens the pinwheels. Oh, I wish someone would hide those kind of eggs around for me - have fun.

Isn't it cool to make a lovely quilt like that out of what you have on hand? Not only is the quilt darling but the quilting is great! Congratulations on such a wonderful finish!

Looks like you've been a good girl if the Easter Bunny is leaving you Cadbury eggs to find!
