I didn't get a whole lot done this week, but I did do something. I played.
At the 2015 AQS quilt show in Chattanooga my friend, Denise, bought a "mystery" charm pack at the Missouri Star Quilt Company booth for $5.00. Even though I was determined not to buy any fabric that year, she talked me into buying one, too.
We both ended up with identical fabric from the Disney/Pixar Finding Dory line. Denise thought we should do a challenge and each make a baby quilt from our charm pack. That's what I played with this week.
I started by putting a sashing strip around each block, thinking I would only use orange and yellow.
But, no -- that would be too boring. You know -- not colorful enough! With such busy prints, though, I thought it would be nice to use all solids for the sashing strips. I don't have a lot of solids in my stash so I decided to pull a few prints and see if the backs of the fabrics would work. Some of them did!
Did I mention that Denise's quilt is already finished? I have some catching up to do.
I'm linking up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict. Another week earning a Whoop Whoop! Check out her site to see what others are accomplishing!

Sandy, this is coming along beautifully. The solids frame the prints well and add a pop of color. This quilt will be one you love when you get through it. And good luck finding more time for sewing next week.
I love solid frames to charm squares and bright patterns. Always looks geat
So cute! This one will be so much fun for a little person :)
That's going to be a fun and colorful quilt.
I agree....this is a fun one! Enjoy making it!
