I like it a lot. I think it could be strip pieced as well to make it go faster. What's the final size in your top?

Pretty top, WMU teach. Makes me want to dig into my stash and start something new...

The final size of the quilt in post #739 is 44 X 58. I have seen some other variations that are just slightly larger here and there online. One is variation can be found at https://weddingdressblue.wordpress.com/

Oooo, thanks for the idea WMUTeach, I have more blues than any other color in my stash and recently found a nice piece of pale that might be just perfect for the background.... also just a nice setting option for using a large scale print in the center instead of the pieces, those little squares on point in the cornerstones really makes it interesting.

WMUTeach: Very pretty quilt. Thanks for sharing the link. I need to save this idea.

Iceblossom: I like the idea of a single block in the center. I have lots of 6.5” squares cut that could be used in the center. It would be a great way to use up 2.5” squares sitting in a drawer too.

Approx 40 x 56 gift for a friends new grandbaby. 100% from stash - including the batting (seriously - its a jigsaw puzzle in there)

I used the envelope / inside out method from Alana Crafts YouTube channel. Really happy with the results.

Nickname: fastest baby baby quilt in the west. 2 hrs to piece top and about 4 to quilt and finish. Batting took longer so I'm not counting that time.

I have more of all 4 fabrics so I might make another "spare" to have around. Are spare baby quilts a thing??

Cute fabrics Rff. Spare baby quilts are a good thing. I always have requests when none are in hand

Rff1010: Very nice! Great job using only stash.

Because the batting is a jig zaw, I think it needs more quilting. Wonderful baby quilt.

A cute quick quilt,Rff1010!
I just figured out stash fabric for the QOV quilt I'm making...1 3/4 yards plus the 1/2 yd for binding and will use 2 3/4 yards new fabric in sashes and border.
Onward to the next one soon. I will have used almost 3 yards of stash plus the binding and will need to get 1 yard for the border.
