I made up this baby quilt this weekend. The squares had all been stitched up so it was a matter of sewing them together, adding a cotton batting and a flannel backing which were already cut to size. It took the better part of the day but it is now done. The pink and yellow are cotton scraps that we acquired last year for our Gramma Link Africa fabric sale. Those solid cotton scraps will be packaged for our Fabric sale this year which takes place on Saturday, April 25 at Gaetz United Church in Red Deer. There are variety of colours and some of the scraps are quite large. This is my first "real" quilt where I cut all the pieces and stitched them into squares. I framed the hand embroidered stars with pink cotton and then stitched them all together to make a quilt top. I put a pink themed flannel on the back that features a teddy bears in pink , yellow and brown. Worked really well with the front. I brought the backing to the front for a self bound edge and them stitched in white around the stars and added diamonds to all the pinwheels in green thread. I also over stitched all the horizontal lines as well which should provide enough quilting for this baby quilt. It measures 39" x 48". It will be available at the Fabric Sale as an example of what can be done with the cotton scraps we will have for sale. Therese
