This little quilt (32″ x 32″) is made from more squares leftover from experimental quilt ideas that didn’t go anywhere.
The size was determined by the backing fabric. I was given a small piece (34″ x WOF) of this wonderful cat fabric and it felt like exactly the right thing.
Babies are small…at least in the beginning.
In all there are 256 2-1/2″ squares…and cats. And they are now a quilt…Ta-dah!
I always like scrappy quilts. Are you using 2 1/2″ squares?
Yes. The quilt is 16 x 16 using 2-1/2″ squares.
Lovely bright colours – ideal for a baby – and that cat backing is meowvalous 🙂
I need to look at the size of my backing more often…then I wouldn’t end up with tops 1 or 2 inches wider than! Yours is a good size for a baby.
Wonderful! That would be huge on premies, too. We never know what baby is getting a quilt. My friend’s sister had triplets two months early and they are a few ounces over a pound each, not even a pound and a half. Their arms are about the size of her thumbs! So this would wrap them for a long time, and be a great draggie blankie later, anyway.
That is so sweet. Good idea.
Cool quilt! Somewhere in my stash of fabric I too have some of that cat fabric! Of course not a whole lot of it but now I know what I can do with that. Thanks again for sharing
I like this. It is really cute.
I love scrappy too.
Really cute, I made one with scraps and now I needed one with the leftovers and here it is, many thanks
What a great use of fabric and scraps – it’s beautiful.
I’m amazed at how well the fabric in the squares match the cat fabric. Congrats.
Such a happy and perky and colorful quilt! Great job!
