STARSTRUCK TOP: DONE 

AND 

HUSH LITTLE BABY: FINISHED



My goal here was to use up as many triangle scraps leftover from bindings as possible. ... and of course to end up with a cute baby quilt.  I think this one could be for either a boy or girl.  

The blocks are 6" and the quilt top  is 36 x 48.

I have a piece of batting just the right size in with my leftovers :)  

Not loving the orange for a binding.  I'm leaning towards a dark grey or black  ??? 

A few of my favourites :

The red in the star is from a quilt made for a past employee ...great memories of working together

This one is from a wall hanging made for my sister.  Polka dots always make me smile and so does my sister!













Not sure where this is from but I wish I had more of the white with little black stars!












I finished this one a few months ago, I did blog about the finished top, but not the finished quilt.



I machine quilted it, but kept it simple.


It now has a name "Hush Little Baby", but no home yet.

  3. I think that orange looks pretty playful. What if you made your test piece smaller, just the size it would be? Take a step back and look again?
