This is the second baby clothes quilt I've made for my lovely customer and I've so enjoyed it :)
 
This time I decided to make a scrappy binding using some lovely blue cottons....

Note.....no scrappy binding..

Here's a pic to make you smile.......Spencer with the new toy I bought him yesterday......it lasted all of half an hour!

Any dog owners out there know the feeling?
 
 
I'll be back soon with a holiday block! It's called Clay's Choice or Star of the West. These are the fabrics I used......
 
 
Happy crafting until next time......enjoy your Sunday :)

  3. Spencer got the job done, didn't he? Our dog used to work and work until she extracted the squeaker. Done!
    The quilt is perfect! I can't wait to see the next one!

  9. Reusing things like your prego clothing or kids clothing are such a lovely personal way to reuse and not waste. I've made many t-shirt quilts like this and we all love them just as if it was all new fabric. Lovely post!
