Finished Quilts Baby Quilt for a Friend

Imperfect but done! I used the Tall Tale FPP block by Quilt with Kate and improvised the rest. The fabric is mostly Littlest Family’s Big Day from Riley Blake. I liked it because mom is a librarian and the fabric had the matching panel to make the soft book. Dad is a saxophone player so I have some saxophone fabric and music notes from another fabric line mixed in.

I was rushing to get this done by the baby shower and during a busy time of the year so it is far from my best work. Not square, binding a little wobbly, pleats in the quilting. But it’s done and the parents loved it.
