tried and true

I made a quilt using this same pattern last year

and last week I was told again how much the quilt was

appreciated.

Well.....
I decided that would be my pattern this week!!

I had been struggling with what to do with this

novelty fabric.

I had only 1/2 yard I wanted to use

but just couldn't decide how to use it

in a quilt!!

After that sweet comment I knew I'd use the same pattern

and it actually worked out perfectly!!

I have only a couple of little scraps left!!

I cut twelve 5" squares

and had a piece left over for the middle of the backing.

The rest of the fabric are just pieces that went along with

the novelty children's fabric

and, of course, the white.

This one measures 42"x42"

I made the quilt exactly the same.

No thinking required.

Just what I needed.

That last piece of novelty fabric was a little too short

so I added the white piece for the label.

I plan to give the new Mommy a pen to fill
in the important baby details on that label.

Baby quilts are
fun.

quick.
satisfying.

and cute.

Who could ask for more?

I'm adding this to Amy's sew and tell....

just in the nick of time!!!
