Teddy Bears and Sailors.....

Another baby quilt for a very special little boy - this time made with some fabric from a beautiful Lecien Sushi roll - I had used some of this fabric for a baby quilt last year, and the strips that I hadn't used were perfect for my latest project. 
I really love these teddy bears and sailors and bees and cars and geese. Firstly I cut the strips into lots of  2½" squares then joined them together randomly.....

.....I was going to use a Moda Bakeshop pattern for this baby quilt but didn't have quite enough fabric, so made the panel a bit smaller. Asymmetric borders of white floral fabric were then joined either side of the panel. I kept to the original pattern of quilting in straight rows ½" apart, and used Mettler quilting thread in white to keep it looking simple and modern.....

.....I used the same fabric for the binding and backing, the label is sewn into place and it's finally finished!.....

.....one more completed baby quilt, ready to post off to Norway to a lovely mummy-to-be, Marthe. Her mother is my very special friend Hanne, and this is for the soon-to-arrive baby boy - I really hope Marthe likes it!!
