Baby DJ’s quilt
Our Children’s Pastor and his wife welcomed a baby boy a few weeks ago. We normally do I-Spy or Quick Trip for babies, but we decided to do something different. We dug through our stash and found some Backyard Bandits that we had forgotten about. We also found the dogs and cats and thought that variety would make a fun Warm Wishes.
When I got the top together I couldn’t figure out why it didn’t look right. I had mixed up something while putting the rows together, so I had to take it apart and reassemble it.
During our stash diving we also came across this Minky dot fabric that was the perfect size for the back. When I say perfect, I mean I had about 1.5” all the way around. I managed to get it quilted and started putting on the binding. I didn’t account for the extra thickness in the quilt, so my normal method of binding wouldn’t work. Of course I didn’t realize that til the binding was completely on the front and I started trying to fold it over and stitch it down.
I have to say I love this quilt but I’m glad it’s finished. It’s not my best work, but I don’t think baby DJ will mind.
