Quilts Made with Love had a pattern that would work with so few jelly roll strips. I began making the quilt and realized I had enough strips leftover to fill some of the white space in the pattern, and thus the strip blocks were made in place of the mostly white blocks with a few colored squares.
- Pattern: A variation of Bitsy Baby from Quilts Made With Love
- Size: 40" square
- Fabric: Little Stars by Connecting Threads
- Batting: 100% cotton
- Backing: Connecting Threads Ice Cream stripe
- Binding: Double fold Moda yellow and white stripe, attached by machine with mitered corners
- Quilting: Allover small meandering in white thread on Mrs.Bernina, my old 830 which was my grandmother's
- Value: Old-fashioned charm!
This quilt is listed for sale in my Etsy shop, BusyHandsQuilts.

Adorable!
So wonderfully sweet!
Millie is correct, it really is beautiful. As much as I admire the 'designer / intricate' quilts, I really do still love simple best. I might have initially had the same 'unfinished' feeling if I'd been the one making it, but as a 'consumer' it looks just fine! :-)
I agree with your daughter, it's beautiful. I've been looking at Connecting Threads fabric, how did you find the quality?
Very pretty - I love the polka dots! Great job.
Your daughter is absolutely right - it's lovely. So old-timey and perfect! It's good to step out of our comfort zones with quilting. Gosh, when I think about the first quilts I made compared to now, I can't believe the transformation.
That is so sweet, isn't it? :) Love the striped backing
There is just something wonderful about pastel quilts. I love watching the movie Little Women and seeing the gorgeous, pretty and pastel quilts! I have yet to make a finished pastel quilt and I think seeing yours is an inspiration to want one! I had to add finished when I am remember I do have a pink one hanging in the closet waiting to be finished! I love the yellow and white stripe binding!
What a beautiful quilt and it does have a wonderful old fashioned look to it! Thanks for sharing.
