I made the top for this quilt in February, using the 6" Bow Tie dies so the blocks are 3" finished. All of the fabrics in the blocks are Kaffe Fassett collective prints, a large variety in the larger piece and in the triangles. I think I would call this exuberant pastel because of the large scale prints which appear darker. It is 34.5" x 45".
The cute print on the back is flannel that I found on sale. The binding is a gray print I found in my stack of grays.
I used Hobbs 80/20 batting in it.
This is a better view of the backing and binding fabrics. It feels good to get two baby quilts finished at the end of the month. I have gifted so many that I needed to replenish my stack of them.
One little tomato is turning red and another has a little tinge of orange to it. They are still small so I hope some of the others grow a little more before they turn color.
All of these tomatoes are on one plant. They grow in clusters like the "on the vine" tomatoes you see in the grocery stores.
These Creeping Bellflowers look like pale pink in the morning light and become this beautiful purple in the evening light. As much as I complain about them taking over the garden, they are pretty.
There are more of them in the back of this out of control little garden outside of my dining room picture window. I love the purple and yellow amongst all of the green.
The Stella d'Oro lilies continue to bloom. I'm seeing buds on my blackberry lilies in a different flower bed.

What a pretty quilt, and I love the backing! Those purple flowers really are lovely. We have some kind of weed growing in our yard that produces little white flowers reminiscent of morning glories. They are really pretty. Do you use regular potting soil in your tomato pots, or do you use soil from your garden?
Congratulations on another finish. That is such a pretty quilt! I am in the same boat as you with needing to make more baby quilts for my stash.
nice to add to the stack of baby quilts. Your tomatoes are doing well. I discovered that one of "Roma's looks like it is cherry tomatoes instead - I think now gives me out of 7 or 8 plants over half of them were not labeled right or someone switched tags on them thinking they were funny
‘Exuberant Pastel’ will be used for years its such a lovely quilt for the baby to grow with.
Oh, I absolutely ADORE this quilt!!!
What a cute quilt! That would be good to do with my stash of feedsacks.
You have hit it out of the park yet again. Did a link back to you on this one. While my baby quilt top is no where near as amazing as yours. You continue to inspire me. I will be buying more Kaffe Fassett fabric. I vote you Ambassador!
