Over the past few months, I’ve shared glimpses of a quilting project I’d been working on, but never quite showed what exactly I was making. Now that the recipient has the object in question, I can show you!
It’s a baby quilt I improvised using a package of jelly roll strips that I bought in Petaluma a few years ago.
The backing is a cute yellow flower/white background fabric that a friend gave me as a souvenir from Japan. I pieced jelly roll strips for the binding because I didn’t have a coordinating fabric in my stash and wanted to make the strips go as far as possible! #stashbust
The funny thing about this is that when I bought the fabric, all I could see was a deer fabric through the cellophane window of the package. I thought it was full of cute woodland prints. When I opened it, I found out that they were cows, not deer, and the rest were mostly dairy-related fabrics. So I thought it was perfect for my new niece who was recently born to my brother and sister-in-law in Wisconsin. ❤️️❤️️❤️️
