The baby quilt is done!<\/p>\n

I layered it with batting and fleece backing.\u00a0 I cut the batting to 1.5 inches wider than the top on each side, and I cut the fleece backing even larger, so there was about 4 inches extra on each side.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I stitched around the edge of the top through all the layers, then I quilted two lines through the center, one vertical and one horizontal.\u00a0 This stabilized the layers and divided the quilt into four sections.\u00a0 I echo-quilted each section with parallel right-angle lines about 1.5 inches apart.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I trimmed the fleece so it was 2\u2033 wider than the batting on all sides, and folded it over to the front as binding.\u00a0 I used the mitering technique described in\u00a0faux blanket binding<\/a> by red flannel pantry<\/em>.\u00a0 I straight-stitched about 1\/4\u2033 in from the raw edge of the binding, then zigzag stitched over the raw edge.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The final size is 44 x 44 inches.\u00a0 It’s soft and cuddly, and bright and colorful – exactly what I wanted!<\/p>\n
