I had some kind of image in my head of white strips with bits of bright color in between. I started sewing strips and squares of color. It didn't quite turn out like I had planned, but I still like it.
Of course, I liked it even more after quilting and washing it. I also like that I didn't have to buy any new fabric for this quilt, except backing. All of the squares and the white were already in my stash. I had enough fabrics for the backing, too, but I wanted a solid backing for this quilt with all of the smaller pieces on the front. Scrappy binding, though.
The finished quilt is about 45 x 55.
The quilt is now for sale in my etsy shop.
I'm going a very different direction with my next quilt (another baby size.) Just the fabrics together for now.

Thanks for reading my blog, Angie! I love your new baby quilt. It looks so sharp hanging over that crib rail - both classic and modern, which lasts the test of time :) How will your blacks and reds be pieced for the next project?
love love love the baby quilt!
Very sophisticated.
