Vintage Sassy Baby

Vintage Sassy Baby
I went back to the remnant box for this adorable baby quilt. I like this simple vintage block called Periwinkle from Blue Wren. It's quick, easy and fun to sew.


The medium sized floral border fabric provided color choices for the 10” blocks. Pink, yellow, melon, green, blue and aqua prints stand out nicely against white on cream fabric. I used EQ8 for layout and color placement.


Vintage Sassy Baby's final size of 38” x 48” is just right for a little one. Backing and binding is a yellow linen look print. Using light creamy thread, I quilted free motion in a stipple pattern.


Dies used:
Blue Wren 6077 Periwinkle 10” block
Accuquilt 55017 2½” strip


Thankful for the joy
that quilting brings
