Baby Grande Quilt

I work with some fabulous people.  I have been invited to a baby shower for a 'couple' of people that I work with.  When I started this post, Little Vinnie was not here yet.  He is now exactly one week old.  Happy Birthday to Vinnie!  Anyway, when I heard we were having a baby shower for C and JP, due to the impending arrival of their new family member, I whipped up this fun baby quilt from fabrics in my "Juvenile Fabrics" stash.  It is good to not have to go shopping for more fabric when you just want to whip something up!   Plus, I had stacked some odd fabric bits on top of that bin, so I went through them and cleaned up part of my stash cabinet.  After I sewed the top together, sandwiched, and basted it, I stitched in the ditch on my Husky, then stippled and loopy-de-looped on my Necchi.
Doing loop-de-loops!
I had more of the yellow elephant fabric, so that is what I used for the binding.  The backing fabric is from Wittlich, Germany. I bought it at Das Nah Haus in August 2018.  It was just waiting for such an occasion!  Love that bright blue with polka dots fabric.  It goes with everything!
