BABY QUILT STASHING

I just cleaned out most of my 1930's fabric stash.  While working on a charity quilt to rid myself of some of the huge stash of them I discovered two prints that were very pretty and I had over a yard of each and in fact almost two yards.  Some of it went into the charity quilt, but they were so pretty I thought I would make a baby quilt.  I don't usually need baby quilts as my daughters and all their friends are well into their 40's and 50's and babies are no longer a happening thing around here for us.  However once and a while I do get a request for one, so I have taken to stashing a couple for just in case occurrences. 

A simple pattern but so pretty.  Love it!  It is just 42 by 48 inches a perfect size for me to quilt myself.  Now it is just waiting for a baby I guess.

    What a fun baby quilt. Using what you have always feels so virtuous.

    Looking at your latest posts I'm impressed with the number of charity Quilts you've made from your stash. It inspires me. I like doing large blocks and simple patterns to have the pretty fabrics show off. Keep up the good work!

    A baby will come along where you least expect it! It's a wonderful design and fabric combination.

    Now that's the way to use the rail fence block! Really, I had to make sure when I saw it on the Whoop Whoop linkup. How cute and cuddly it is. A surprise gift for a surprise baby. You never know, at 57 I'm already a great-grandmother (to beautiful little Milly).
