Bailey's first quilt!!!

Hello
I'd like to share with you this little patchwork quilt I made for Hailey, who's almost 6 months now. Doesn't time fly???? It's made from a Moda 'jelly roll' (strips of ready cut two and a half inch fabric - 40 strips to a roll) after machining strips together (pic 1) I pressed the seams and sewed them into a tube.(pic 2) I then cut two and a half inch strips cross ways (pic 3)and unpicked a seam on each tubular strip ( moving the pattern on one each time ) and arranged them as shown in pic 4. I spray basted it onto wadding and backing fabric, saves time, no pins! Lastly, I machine quilted it and added the binding.
I think Bailey is quite pleased with the result! Thankyou for visiting my blog
