During the 4 hour drive to Chicago, I was also able to finish up the binding on a second baby quilt.
I loved the several Ashley at Film in the Fridge made, so I decided, why not? Those 5" squares are just so easy! I love the straight line quilting Ashley does, however, I have not had very good luck with straight quilting lately. After the fiasco with the Shady Zig Zags, I preferred to take steps to avoid more time with the seam ripper. Stippling was the easiest (and safest) option. I like how the stippling turned out a lot anyway. Take that straight quilting!
The back is one of the prints from the Wonderland line. I bound the quilt using the Kona Cotton solid in Berry. It really is such a pretty color.

Very cute! I love the solid binding. ;-)
this is so pretty. there is something so appealing about a squares quilt. so simple but so pretty. the stippling looks great. i wish i was even remotely skilled at it.
i love this quilt!!! lovely colors, and beautiful prints work well with simple squares. :)
I love making those "charm quilts" When I firat started quilting I made one from a Fig Tree line. Still one of my favorites! Yours looks wonderful!

This is so pretty! I love the colors in this one...such a fun fabric line.
I have much better luck with stippling, too. I think I'm just going to stipple the rest of my quilts and save myself the trouble and frustration of crooked lines
