Design Wall Monday – January 23
I took a quick break from the quilt re-assembly to make a couple of flannel receiving blankets. With those out of the way it was back to finishing up the quilt top.
The top is finished and is now 38″ x 49″ which I think is a much more useable baby quilt size than the original 32″ x 39″. It’s also much better looking with the sashing, I think. Thanks to Judy D in AZ for the corner stones idea.
Then I took the scraps and pieced up the backing. I had a pretty big piece of the border fabric left over.
And for all that, I still have a bunch of scraps left over.
This quilt was made from the scraps of another quilt and yet, they just seem to grow. It’s like wire coat hangers, they just multiply when you aren’t looking! The last of scraps will likely go into a quilt for the NICU and then I hope they’re all used up. If not, they will go in my scrap bag for the guild give away table and someone else can do something with them.
See what the other quilters are doing over at Judy’s.

So pretty! I like the cornerstones too. Nice backing plan too. Wire hangers, huh? I agree, the scraps do seem to multiple when one is not looking!
That really came together. I think some Mom and Dad will love that little quilt for their bundle of joy. I usually try to use up my scraps on the back too-with a few squares or strips put away for future use.
Beautiful finished top – and backing!
Very pretty receiving blanket!
Thanks for stopping by quilts and dogs yesterday.
I really love you colors! I think I have a few of those fabrics!

Your baby quilt is beautiful. I love all the color. And I so know what you mean about scraps multiplying. I have some 30s fabrics that I have already made 4 quilts with and it is still around. #5 will get started soon.
