I hope you aren't sick of me showing off my color scrap quilts but I can't help it. I think I mastered the whole mitered corners and easy binding. Flannel is the way to go with making it wrap around for the binding and I used this easy tutorial to machine sew the corners. Can you tell I avoid hand sewing at all costs?
These are some easy quilts! I love using my scraps and not worrying about matching and just throwing it all together. I always have a period where I worry that it will look wrong or that I am using too much of something, but in the end I like it.
Anne held this up for me outside in the grass. It was spitting snow flurries. She is a good sport my little middle child. I had to crop out her poor little face since it was so cold out there and she was freezing. I had these visions of a great outdoor photoshop but it was terrible out there. Again with all the indoor shots except this last one. Spring is coming soon I hope!!
Love this pretty quilt....Green was always my favorite color. Great fabric choices too!

Yes, so pretty. And such a great size, I keep thinking I should try a small one, but getting everything ready seems so daunting.

Oh, so pretty!!! I'm not usually a "green" person, but this is beautiful!! I agree, I do not like to hand sew at all!! Plus, I'm not very good at it. Can you tell me the size of the finished quilt?

Gorgeous green! I love the scrappiness - you put some yummy fabrics together and they really look great because of the variety of shades and tones of green. What a lovely spring feeling quilt!

I love green! That is a very cute little quilt. I hope you give it to her. I can imagine her picnicing on it when the snow has gone and spring has sprung!

Beautiful! Green is my favorite color so this makes me smile!! I so wish I knew where to begin with making a quilt, I'd love to but I'm terrified to even try.
