| Bars 2 baby quilt in pastel solid fabrics |
Although the quilt was small enough to fit on WOF, I used two pink fabrics to get enough length for the back. Most of the chevron was the back for this t-shirt quilt. Only a few narrow lengths remain.
The binding is a remnant of the pink and green stripe originally used in the ribbon border of my Strippy Nine Patch. What a lucky find. It segues nicely between the solid front and printed back. I also used it on the recent Spiderweb quilt... and there's still a bit more. Perhaps enough to go around another quilt or two. Into the binding bin it goes.

Again I quilted simple unmarked parallel lines like Fifth Chinese Coins but these run across the Coins/Bars and are about an inch apart. It should keep the seams from pulling and still keep the quilt flexible and soft for a baby.

So pretty with wonderful colors!
I love this. The colors sing.
I like the cohesive look of incorporating different values & tones of green into most of your alternating bars. It is sure to bring warmth & comfort to one lucky baby!
Very pretty and the binding is just right. I like quilts that are still soft and flexible after they're quilted: much cosier.
Wow! It looks so great! You’re doing a good job using up leftovers.
That stripy binding just makes this quilt!! It's going to be well loved.
The quilt turned out lovely! What a great way to use up the leftover bits and make something useful.
Love this one Ann - such a happy quilt for a baby - and nice, simple quilting.
Oh yes this has turned out really great! The quilting finihes it off beautifully!
Thanks, Julie. These were some of the leftovers; I think they came out very well.
Thanks, Judy. I think the greens blend with all the other colors for a spring-like effect.
How kind of you, Mel. Those greens add some cohesion to the quilt, don't they?
Thanks, Kaja. I'm enjoying using up the leftovers and finding baby quilts are the perfect size to "finish them off." Plus it pleases me that they will be well used.
Thanks, Karen. I'm trying hard to use it all up. So leftovers, please.
Thank you. I always find it tricky to segue from solids to prints. This binding seemed like a good choice.
Thanks, Patty. My feelings exactly: useful, pretty, and using the leftovers.
Thanks, Maureen. I hope the baby enjoys the quilt; it's simple enough that they should be encouraged to use it daily.
Thanks, Linda. I'm fast becoming a fan of simple quilting like these parallel lines.
