It's been like a race to the finishing line the past weekend with another quilt done and dusted - a bit bigger this time - 53" square (or thereabouts, didn't re-measure it but that's what I think it was)...
The backing fabric was found at Sew Bright Alpine Quilting when Jindi & I went up to Bright for four days back in November, right after the top was put together. It was all that was left on the bolt and I calculated that it should be "just enough if but maybe a bit squeezy"...well, the bit squeezy came into play. After piecing to the side and one end there was a bit of a missing piece...a bit of lateral thinking and...
The closest I generally come to a label...a patch!...nicer than piecing scraps of the backing fabric to fill the space...
It washed up all nice and crinkly cuddly...I rolled it, tied it with a red ribbon (and forgot the photo of that bit!) and went back to work today with it under my arm to deliver to the intended recipient's Daddy. Almost constitutes a speed quilt in my world - the intended recipient is only 3 months old and already it has been delivered...

Looks fantastic! Love the patch on the back. Looks like it belongs.
Wow....
well done! the patch looks like a great idea.
could you be on a roll?
Looks wonderful! I love the idea of the patch...very clever! 3months old? That's nothing! I once finished a knitted baby blankie when the child had started Year 1! Lol
love it... such perfect colours and style for your speed quilt...

Love the colour combination and the patch is a very clever idea.
This is going to get a lot of love. Whoooo hoooooo on the fast finish! (my grandson got his birth quilt when he was 10 months old- oops!)
It's probably been too hot for a quilt anyway!
Lovely finish, lucky little person.
Yes, lucky little boy getting this great quilt! Sweet bear paws
