A girls baby quilt done.

 I found another bag of baby girl scraps left over from a quilt I made years ago.  

What can I make from these?


Layout the pieces that were already sewn. Then cut some filler blocks


All pieced together


I found a piece nearly big enough for backing and binding


With the little pieces I had to join them to get a strip as wide as the backing. 
It needed a little bit of length to be perfect.


I quilted approx 1/4” (foot width) either side of the sashing strips


Added a label 


And spent my Sunday relaxing with some hand stitching.


Completed… measures. 34” * 45”


The strip added on the back looks good.
The label is on the side covering a little mark that wouldn’t come out.


Linking up with Slow Stitching Sunday
