Baby A's quilt top done

 This weekend, we got together to make decisions on the final border, backing and binding for Baby A's quilt. Even with a lot of on-line research, Mom still hadn't found just the right piece of material for the back. The intent was to have an outline of the world - to represent how many places Baby A has been and will get to travel to.



Instead, we ended up with a piece with all the letters of the alphabet - in lots of different colors.

There wasn't enough of this material to allow for a second border but rather than look for another piece, we decided to keep the quilt top a little smaller.

When it came to the binding, we picked 5 of the colors that are shared between the front and back - all solids. I'll piece the colors together to make a scrappy binding that will be a great way for someone to learn their colors.

 

Next, we take the finished quilt to The Quilting Loft to pick out a quilting pattern.
