Fish Parts
I decided to make 2 quick baby quilts, the first for the Quilt Guild to donate to the Neonatal Unit at Stanford Hospital and the second for my friend's first grandchild. The friend, Patty G., is soon moving to Berkeley and the Quilt Guild meets in September so I wanted to finish both quickly.
The pattern came from the book Modern Babies. This particular design "Bubbles" was designed by Dana Bolyard.
The background fabrics came from a recent JoAnn's half-price sale ($5 regular on sale for $2.50/yd). The fish parts and bubbles came from my stash. The binding was the orange fabric used in Four Hooties. The back was a light blue flannel from a JoAnn's sale a couple of years ago. I used a white flannel blanket for the batting to make the quilts softer.
I didn't quilt them with circles (bubbles) as the pattern showed, but instead did a meandering, watery-design.
