I just wanted to share with you a quilt I finished several months ago. A while back my mom and I joined a fabric swap group. Each month had a different theme. I believe all these squares came from the flowers swap in the sprint time! I personally LOVE scrappy quilts and usually choose them over patterned quilts with specific prints anyways. I like finding ways to make fabrics that don't really match... match!
Here is a view of the top! I actually saw something similar on Pinterest and I took a screen shot of it with my phone so I could go back to it while making the quilt.
I don't know WHY I didn't pin the thing! Now I wish I had because I have loved this pattern and used it on at least 3-4 baby quilts since this one! I LOVE this pattern! Easy. Simple. And ends up looking completely different depending on what fabric you use. I love it. Thank you to whoever came up with it first!

This quilt is special to me because it one of the first that I felt brave enough to custom free motion quilted on my machine! It was fun to do different patterns besides just a plain ol' stitch in the ditch with my walking foot. What IS interesting to see is that this quilt was made about 10 months ago. I have quilted... to many quilts to count since this one and it's fun for me to see how I have grown free motion wise.
I LOVE the colors in this quilt! I LOVE that it is almost vintage, but the pattern makes it a more modern quilt.
I was surprised at how well the quilting showed through even with the very fluffy back! I like fluffy... especially for a baby quilt.
Here is a cute stamp I had made so I could mark who made the gift! I have several baby blankets people gave to me when my were born. I have several that I can't remember who gave them to me! With this baby I will defiantly have people sign their work. Quilting is art people!
