Friday Finish: Round Robin Baby Quilt

I like how this turned out. 

It started as an effort to puzzle out how to make a block similar to but different than a Jen Kingwell block. Then I figured I should do something with the block, so I built on it in rounds, round robin style. I used up all the fabric I had since these were scraps and FQs to begin with, so the finished size is about 38". 

For the backing, I used a lovely thick soft flannel gifted by a friend. It was just wide enough, and it couldn't be more perfect for this little quilt. The quilting is a simple loose meander to keep it soft. 

After a spin through the washer and dryer, this little quilt will go to Operation Shower.

  2. Oh wow, you couldn't have found a more perfect backing! The soft stipple makes the quilt look really soft and I'm sure it will be loved by its recipient.

  5. I mocked up your block in my EQ8 and came up with a possible Christmas wall hanging! Thanks for the inspiration.

  6. Soft and sweet! I love how you chose a green binding so the edges sort of fade out quietly. Perfect for any baby falling asleep :)
