Another Baby Quilt in Waiting

As you know, I like to make a few baby quilts to have on hand in case the need for a baby gift arises. I put this quilt top together over a year ago and had the top, batting and backing in a plastic storage container in my sewing room.  At one time, I had 5 quilts in a pile, waiting to be quilted.  Of the original 5, I have only one left to do. I have added another one to the pile in the meantime so there are two waiting to be quilted at the moment.

My husband was away last weekend, so after completing all my errands and jobs around the house, I pin basted this quilt and another wall hanging.  I did not have the right colour of thread for my wall hanging so this one moved to the front of the line for quilting.  I used some dark orange thread  and my walking foot to quilt this baby quilt.  The pattern is inspired by a class I took last summer with Jacquie Gering--Machine quilting with your walking foot.  

I used some nice soft flannel on the back--you can see the quilting in this picture. 

I finished off the binding last night after supper, but it was too dark for pictures.  I sent a text to my favourite quilt holder before coming home from work today to let him know that I wanted to do a photo shoot when I got home. 

The fabric in this quilt was in a jelly roll that was purchased ages ago. I added some solids from my solids collection to make the blocks and found a nice light green solid for the binding.  Everything came from my stash!

There won't be any quilting time this weekend as our schedule is jam packed but I may find some time to do some counted cross stitch in the car.  I am linking up with Kathy and the other slow Sunday stitchers. 

Have a great weekend.
