This is the fifth and last of the neonatal quilts I made for the quiltathon. I cut out this one and the previous one and took them as "kits" to work on during the quilt-a-thon. The citrus colored fabrics came from a fat eighth roll that Ravinder and the girls gave me for Christmas. Each fat eighth made rectangles for 2 quilts. The other fabrics in the quilt, including the cute print I used on the back, came from my stash. Therefore, this quilt exceeds my 2015 goal of using my "inventory" before buying more fabric.
The pattern was a simple one suggested by members of the guild and posted on the guild's web site. The differences between this quilt and the previous one are the placement of the colored fabrics, the batting used, and the quilting style. Before I quilted this one I saw a loopy quilting pattern on the Internet. Some of the loops made hearts. I thought this would be a cute pattern for a baby quilt, so I tried it out. It was easy and I liked the look.
