Baby Quilt #4

Layer cakes are my friends.  For those not familiar with quilty lingo that means a stack of 42 10-inch squares with a variety of coordinating fabrics.   I bought a layer cake from Moda called Storybook by Kate & Birdie.  I have made 3 small baby quilts using it.  Granted, they are not the most exciting finishes with lots of intricate piecing, but they are a FINISH!    I have come to the conclusion that I need those simple finishes now and then just to be able to say I finished something.  And ALSO to have some baby quilts on hand to give as gifts.   So here is the 3rd quilt and final quilt out of the layer cake that I bought.  It's full of stuff little boy dreams are made of . . . ships, airplanes, hot air balloons, clouds, castles.

Loopy quilting reminds me of airplanes flying around in the sky . . .

Baby laundry!!

Currently, we have no landscaping and are surrounded by dirt at the moment so this old cattle yoke embedded in a tree near our house is the best I could do.   I'll bet this has been there since the early 1900's.  At least the sky was pretty!  

I am trying to not buy any new fabric for the things I am working on until the end of this year.  I was panicking because I didn't have anything the right color to bind this quilt but I finally found some brown plaid flannel for the binding.  I used this hot air balloon fabric on the back.

For some reason I didn't even list this amongst the WIP's for the 2016 Follow-A-Long so it won't count as one of my finishes.  Phooey!  Oh well.  

Have a blessed day!
