Another Finish

I forgot how much I love rainbow quilts.  This is a bit more in the pastel category since it's for a baby girl.  She's set to arrive next week, so I've got to hurry up and get it in the mail.  I seem to always manage to wait right up until they're due. 

 I did a large stippling for the quilting.  It's been so long since I've stippled anything, so I was a bit rusty, but I enjoyed it.

The backing comes from my stash from a previous project.  It was the wrinkliest piece of fabric I had ever seen.  It obviously did not fare very well when stuffed into a box during our move.  I made a noble attempt at ironing it, but it was nigh unto impossible to get some of the creases out.  It led to some puckering in the back when I quilted it.  I like to think of it as texture. 

5 Little Hens in a Row

My quilting club met this week, and gratefully, I finished my row with a day to spare.  I had Rebecca's Americana and Civil War fabric.  The only stipulations were that the row needed to be 42" long, and no block larger than 8".  I found this adorable tutorial for a hen, and decided that's what I wanted to do.  They are surprisingly easy to piece together. 

 I pretty much love my row.  I almost wanted to keep it!

You can see Rebecca's row of flags that I'm adding on to.  I think her quilt top is going to be adorable!
