I think I enjoyed sewing this quilt top precisely because it was so easy. Who wants to work on a difficult quilt while unwinding, right? I think that there are enough variety that I didn't worry about whether the same fabrics were close to each other.
The quilt is very pink, perfect for a girly, girl, so I quilted it with an all over feather motif. Where the feathers didn't quite meet, I added some pebbles. And that's it!
Kept it very simple and easy. Can you see the feathers? They are pretty big, but I wanted to cover lots of space so that the quilt will be soft and cuddly.
A couple of new teachers at work are expecting babies or just had a baby! So I thought I'd replenish the pile of baby quilts that I've already begun to give away.

I love the pinks! It would be a great stash buster...now you got me thinking! The feathers are wonderful! Sometimes easy is just what we need in our busy, crazy lives!
Great quilt, just what I always love--scraps! Very very nice quilting, too.
Cheers,

It is a lovely finish. It looks so fresh and pretty.
What a lovely quilt -- so bright and cheerful! The quilting is beautiful. This will make someone very happy!
Gosh, that's such a sweet quilt! I love those bright pinks and the scrappy fabrics. A girlie girl quilt for sure!
Very pretty, and I like that you have a pile just waiting to be given away.
I like the brick look. I think my next round of Christmas gift quilts I will do in bricks rather than smaller rectangles.
Beautiful. Love everything about this quilt - the colors, the ease, the overall effect and the quilting adds an extra touch of sweetness.
Hugs,
Preeti.
Perfect finish and gift for a baby!
Very pretty; this will be a lovely gift for a little girl.
