Strip baby quilt

I think I have figured out a little more about the iPad that my father is so graciously allowing me to borrow until I decide on a new computer. So here goes...

About a week or so ago I was just playing with strips of fabric that I have, mindlessly sewing to relax me because lately my stress level has be at the overflowing like the waterfall in my background picture. As I pieced the strips came together so nicely I decided it would make a cute little baby quilt/play mat.

I love all the colors together, so happy and playful. 

I quilted it by stitching about a quarter of an inch away from the seam on only one side. I then used my scraps and whipped up my scrappy binding. 

This fun little baby quilt is backed with a pillowcase. (I always keep at least one sheet prewashed in my stash and if it is from a set, then the pillowcases end up in  my stash, too.  I love how much fabric you can get out of a pillowcase when you unpick the seams!)

This quilt measures 29.5"x30". I used my favorite warm and natural cotton batting to give it a nice weight, not too heavy and not too light. It is machine quilted and machine bound with a fun scrappy binding.

I think that I will be putting this one up in my etsy shop since I just made it to relax.  I just have to figure out how to upload the pictures from the iPad.
