I've had this little quilt nearly finished for several weeks, but I wanted to give it as a gift before I blogged about it. I just put the label on it and gave it away this week, so now it's really done.
I used a very pale pink Kona cotton for the background.
The patchwork is made of mostly scraps, but I cut into a little bit of my (hoarded) briar rose fabric. It matched too perfectly, I just HAD to. There are SO many happy fabrics jammed into one yummy square.
I used a lovely garden green polka dot for the backing. More polka dots for the binding--no surprise there!
I stippled it with white thread and machine bound it.
It measures about 39" x 41". It is scrap project #62/101.
Now it's your turn! Please link up your finishes for the week. Thanks for joining me for finish it up Friday!
finish it up Friday, 4/25/14

The first pic is really great. Nice texture on the quilt!
Very sweet! I like the pale pink and the view!
This came at the perfect time, Amanda! I need to make a quick quilt for my daughter's friend who is in the hospital and I wanted to do an I-spy kind of thing, but I don't have time to piece 500 squares to get it to her by Monday. This is perfect. Thanks!
That really is the happiest combination of fabrics - love it.
Simple yet beautiful... I wanna make one like this right now! I'm never tired to check your finished projects, always very inspiring... Have a great weekend ;-)
Pretty as a picture! Such sweet patchwork and of course I'm crushing on that dotty binding and backing.
Happy Friday!
Such a simple but gorgeous design. I love all the fabric pieces and the background colour you chose. Perfect baby quilt. I have to try this with my scraps! :-)
so soft and cuddly looking, and I love that you dipped into the hoarded/treasured fabrics :-) Very inspiring to this fabric hoarder!
This is such a perfect quilt. I cannot handle that backing - it is so gorgeous! Awesome work!
All around sweetness! Love the dots and the crinkle from the quilting.
So awesome! What a great way to use up scraps. Love the back fabric, too!
that's some lovely crinkle! and an overall lovely quilt, too. what a great, simple finish.
It came out just perfect. And so clean and pure, the lines are. Great fabrics and such cheerful colors too. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful, Amanda Jean! I too am hoarding my Briar Rose. Lovely snippets of it in the patchwork!
This is just lovely, simple really can be stunning. x
Love the simplicity of this!
Simple and so eye catching! Another beautiful quilt!
What a sweet, but simple idea! Very cute!
Its a lovely quilt- and can I just say you have nice hands as well :0) everytime my hands appear in a photo it looks like my project was thrown together by an old crone!
So Springy! I really like that backing fabric ;-)
Aren't baby quilts so fun? The stippling on your quilt makes for such a beautiful result. Can't beat the dots either!
It's gorgeous! I love it. So glad you were able to cut into stash even. Yes, I'm glad about that. Enjoy ALL the fabric.
very nice too I like the way it has only a small area of block then the rest is beautifully quilted, backing and binding works so well too
A stunning way to showcase the small blocked prints. I love it, Amanda.
Love the green polka dot backing! And love that it was another scrap project. The count down is inspiring!
One word! GORGEOUS!! Love Briar Rose too :)
I'm really into simplicity at the moment - this is lovely :)
what a sweet quilt! There are a couple of prints in the Briar Rose line that I'm kind of hoarding too--most because the colors are so different from everything else.
I LOVE everything about this quilt. Its simplicity is beautiful! Definitely need to try this! Thanks for sharing.
I love the stippling on this quilt!
This quilt is SEW perfect. The small blocks adds eye catching or focal point to the quilt.
