This week I was reading blog posts and a squirrel got me. Not only was it a squirrel, it was a DrEAMI!
I have to thank Sandra from MMM Quilts for writing about the sweet Gingham Quilt she wrote about that she saw on Nancy’s blog Grace and Peace Quilting. I just had to make it (twice!)
I pulled some leftover 5” squares from my scrap saver system and quickly put together a trial quilt top. I loved it enough to layer it up and I’m just finishing the quilting today. 😉
Then I pulled some fabric from my stash and did some cutting. I needed to make a baby quilt for a wee one that arrived this week. Her Momma loves green and yellow so that’s what I needed to work with.
I managed to finish it on Friday because I had a fun backing fabric. I did some simple Stitch in the Ditch quilting with a beautiful grey Aurifil thread which Ed blended perfectly with the top.
The quilt was delivered last night to their doorstep and Momma was pleased with the “perfect fabrics”. 😉
Thanks for taking the time to read my post. 😉 Carol

Two wonderful and quick finishes! The baby quilt is great, but I really like the red one best. LOL I might be a little odd.

Absolutely fantastic two quilts! Aren’t they a blast? I have a magazine quilt looming and another for a blog hop so I CANNOT scratch the itch just yet to make another!

Hi Elizabeth. They are so much fun and a great way to use up those smaller bits of leftover fabric. Just be warned; they are addicting; you can’t stop with just one 😉
