Baby Quilt

I just finished the binding on this baby quilt, which I made for a close friend who needs a gift to give a dear friend hers who's expecting a baby girl this month. I'd already finished the top, and had it sitting on a shelf, when she mentioned she was looking for a gift for a new baby girl. I'd made the top from parts of 2 packs of 2.5-inch strips--one white, and the other pinks--earlier in the year, just to see what I could make from the strips. I thought the result was pretty cute.

Here's a view of the back. I added the pink pieces to make it more interesting, and because the backing fabric wasn't large enough by itself. The binding is pink, and the machine quilting was done by Wilma at Christian Lane Quiters in Connecticut.
