Charming Baby Quilt

 Today I have another baby quilt finish to share. I missed adding this one to my list of quilts I hoped to make this year so I'll just count it as a bonus quilt

This is one of the first fabric lines I bought when I began quilting and  I've made numerous quilts with it. It was a Moda collection called Lily & Will from Bunny Hill Designs. Circa 2010-ish I think and after all these years, I still love it. 

                                                    

I love the versatility of HSTs and this time I set them into a broken dishes design. Jackie and Sandy quilted it with a design called Feather Flip using  a Linen colored thread

I cobbled the backing together with 3 different pieces I had left

and used  a brown print for the binding with what, I think, is the last of the leftovers, but I'm sure I will uncover more if I dig deep enough.

At 40 x 50, it'll be a nice way to welcome a new little one. It's been very handy to have a collection of baby quilts on hand and this one will be added to the armoire until it is needed...and as I was about to hit publish on this post, we found out that friends are expecting their 1st grandchild. If it's a girl, this will be perfect.

A Little Leftover Pink and Brown Baby Quilt Finish

When I was a new quilter, I didn't have a clue about how to buy fabric. I was always afraid of running out. Now that makes me laugh. But when I found fabric I loved, I bought a lot. Find a collection I loved? On sale? Buy a yard of everything, plus one of those adorable things called jelly rolls. Made sense. Thus, after 10 years, I still have pieces of the original Bunny Hill line:

I have made this quilt:

                                            
And this one:

                                 

A boy version:

                                          
And another:

                                           

A few years ago, I pieced this one and only recently finished it:

I love the simplicity of hourglass quilts:

Jackie, once again added this perfect quilting:

I made it 40 x 45 in order to use that piece for the backing. I still love these fabrics.

They make such a sweet, soft baby quilt:

And the box still has fabric, but I have a goal to empty it. I am now more cognizant of how much I really ought to buy when something catches my eye.

However, I DO have a big bin of another line that I was smitten with when it came out years ago and I bought a yard of everything when it was $4.00/yard...and lots of yardage when I found some for $2.00/yd. And I still love it...even though I haven't used any of it yet. 😏
