another finish!

Here's a baby quilt....finished!

I began with 5" squares and 2 1/2" strips.

Thanks to Amanda Jean for the inspiration.

I bought these fat quarters a long time ago.

Don't know who designed the fabric...

but I know I like them.

All those "sort of" solids were in my stash.

I REALLY didn't have to go to the store for this one.

Then I finished the top.

I DID NOT have a piece of fabric big enough for the backing!

Most of the time I buy 1 yard pieces or less...

and 1 yard was NOT going to do it!

I don't like doing extra work.

I like finishing the quilt REAL QUICK when the top is done.

I knew I could piece the back...

but I didn't want to.

and I didn't want to...

and then

I DID IT!

Looking back..I know it took me

LESS TIME to piece the back

than to go to the store and get a bigger piece of fabric.

Aren't you proud of me for restraining myself and

not making that drive to BUY some?

I also am DREAMING some little boy will be

driving his cars on the back of that

someday!

Next time, I thought I might even make it

LOOK more like a road.

Wouldn't that be FUN?

And today I added this to my growing collection.

I wanted to experiment with flowers.

I have TONS of scraps.

Isn't it cute?

Love those pinks!






Here it is...
I am now a
COLLECTOR! :)
