The lovely thing about baby quilts is they finish so quickly! Despite the craziness of the week (lots of activities and horribly hot weather), I basted, quilted, and bound this lovely for my SiL! I can see one of my grays was a little too light for the backgrounds I chose, but I was trying to use stash and stay in the colors my SiL wanted, so it is what it is, eh? The quilt finished roughly 48" square, and the triangles were all pieced by the Assistant. She assembled a few columns, and I finished up for her. I did the quilting, since she's not really interested in that stage of the game yet, and I bound it. I was happy to finish up a few loved and not-so-loved fabrics out of the stash in a lovely manner.

I love those blocks! You had a great sewing session on those. And your SIL is going to love that darling baby quilt! I hope it cools down a bit for you.
Your baby quilt will be a special gift! And how fun that you had so much help with it! I love your quilt in the second picture. Do those blocks have a name?
Pretty baby quilt. How fun you got some help from the assistant.
Great blocks for another beautiful quilt.
Love that baby quilt! Lucky baby!
And wow on those aqua blocks - so fast and so pretty!
Lovely star piece--wow, all those angles--I am definitely angle challenged--you are a fast worker...hugs, Julierose
What a productive week (quilt-wise!!) Here's hoping your garden fares well in spite of the inattention.
I hope it cools down for you to be able to garden. Mine needs attention tomorrow morning before it gets too hot... although I am doing a great job of growing weeds =). Your quilts are beautiful. I agree on piecing backings... not fun but I just threw 8 blocks together for a nice row on my next to quilt top. Hope it works out.
The baby quilt turned out wonderful! Such a neat idea to just make one large block. The aqua blocks are refreshing - they remind me of a watercolor painting.
I love those aqua blocks! :)
Congrats on finishing up the Carpenter Star baby quilt, it turned out beautifully. Love your aqua blocks. Those will make another cute quilt. It's nice to be sewing with cool colors when it is so hot outside.
