I call it "Playtime" because the prints and colors are so dang happy and cute! That, and the pattern it is from is called "Playful" and I couldn't very well call mine the same thing. :) The design is from Cluck, Cluck Sew and it is an awesome, fun quilt to put together. The instructions are fabulous.
The print fabrics are from the Windham Fabrics "Little Menagerie" collection by Melanie Hurlston. I bought a fat quarter back of them back in 2010. So this project also gets cheers for stash-busting!
Pieced backs are a bit more work, but they are so fun. And I love being able to put the remaining scraps from the front to use!
I even snuck a bit of stripe into the binding.
I kept the quilting simple on this one with an all-over meander using Aurifil Mako 50/2 thread in 2130 ("Medium Butter"). It is soft and snuggly.
And, to finish it off, the label.
The quilt was happily received by mama and baby. Yay!
Sweet! Love those red and white pinwheels.
