June 2022, Baby size and a lap size.

I found a small piece of fabric with very cute animal cartoon pictures on it.  There wasn't enough fabric for even a baby quilt, so I fussy cut it into squares and added coordinating color squares to fill it in.  Making baby quilts is so fun because it accomplishes a quilt quickly.

 



This quilt was made with mostly blue fabric strips.  It is a "string quilt" but without foundation of paper or light weight fabric.  I cut out backing squares of  of blue 8 1/2", then cut a square of batting to match, then sewed the strips  onto the batting "stitch and flip" method.  Then I squared up the block and sewed them together with the white fabric.  Done, no more quilting.

This is the back of the quilt showing the finished backing squares.
