Leftover Blocks








































Do you remember this quilt?  Some friends of ours just became foster parents to a beautiful little girl. I wanted to make a quilt quickly to honor this special time in their lives.  While I was searching for patterns and fabric I came across 17 blocks that I didn't need for the first quilt.  16 of them made a perfect baby quilt size - 36" square.  The pattern is "Easy Bake" by Cluck Cluck Sew.  It's hand quilted with size 8 pink perle cotton.








































For the backing I used a pretty retro kitty fabric that I had in my stash.  Isn't it sweet?  I encourage you to keep leftover blocks.  You never know when you will need something in a jiffy.  Three large blocks can be a table runner and one large block and be made into a pillow.  Your time is cut in half and you have a homemade gift in hardly any time.  Sew fun!
