Just a few days ago, I shared how I was using some leftover strip sets to make a fun little baby quilt.
I loved how it was turning out so in no time I am ready to share my finish!
I started out with these leftover strip sets that I adopted from a friend.
I dug through my stash and found a fun print that I liked with them and started making some large HSTs. Then it was just a matter of playing with the layout.
I decided to go with this barn-raising design.
Originally, I thought this chevron pattern would be fun but with just these 16 blocks, it seemed unfinished.
I had just enough of the print to also add a border around the blocks.
The quilt measures about 40" square.
I "stole" this print for the backing from the same friend who gave me the strip sets. It was perfect for this little quilt. I bound it in the same solid red that I used for the little stop border.
I love it!
I am always so pleased when I turn some leftovers into a quilt that looks like it was planned all along.
This one will probably go into my Etsy shop for a bit and then if it doesn't sell, it will go with the stack of baby quilts to be donated.
I know it will find a home!

Connecting Threads has moved quite a few collections to their clearance section and thread sets are currently on sale. It is always a great idea to stock up when the price is right!

Great finish, it is fun to use up scraps and left overs.
So fun. The backing is perfect, and I like the way the inner red border and binding work as a double frame.

That was fast, and it's adorable! I like the setting you chose, and the red sashing, too. Someone's going to grab that one really quickly!
