Happy Baby Quilt Finish

.... and GIFTED!!! 


I haven't had a lot of time to actually quilt but.... recently we had the Great Flood of 2016 in Louisiana! That resulted in three days of leave which equaled non-stop sewing and quilting!

My front steps!!
Yes, that bottom step is actually under water! 

I've been working on hand quilting a twin quilt for my niece; a post for another day. But in the meantime I have a total of FIVE baby quilts that I'd like to sew up! I spent my rain days cutting, piecing, quilting, and binding a baby quilt! I even was able to gift it!



I did a very simple pattern using an 8" block and a 4-block square. Included a 2" border on all sides to bring the full size to 36" square!

Happy Quilt! 

Seriously, love the backing! Used a couple of flannel remnants to piece it together.

Fun, happy backing -- lots of elephants! 

Made a simple label with my name, location, and date.

Happy colors playing together! 
I had a couple of happy helpers when I was photographing as well and I have to include them of course!

My niece and nephews are always so much fun! They absolutely love any of my quilts!

Hopefully in the next month or so, I will be able to share another baby quilt finish!! I already started cutting it out but don't want to jinx the finish by sharing a photo!

Linking up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict, TGIFF!, and crazy mom quilts

  5. Yay for a finish! The baby quilt is very cute. And man that was A LOT of water, glad everyone is okay and that it resulted in non stop sewing days. I take sewing days anyway I can get them.
