This little top came together very quickly using this wonky cross tutorial, and the lovely Pretty Little Things fabric. I second guessed choosing not to add any solid fabric, because let's face it, this fabric line is pretty busy, but somehow it just works.
The quilt will finish at about 33" x 50", a perfect baby size in my opinion. And I hope to use a fleece or minky backing for this one, as an experiment to see how it goes on a small quilt before attempting that kind of backing on a larger quilt (ie. my Brrr! quilt!).
Today I'm linking up with Finish it Up Friday @ Crazy Mom Quilts, and TGIFF being hosted this week by Nat @ Made in Home.

This is so sweet, Heather! I have some minky waiting to become a quilt back, and it's a little scary!
Love this so much! Delicious
This is so sweet, I love it! Don't be scared of the minky, it's really not that bad. My main advice would be to very carefully tape the minky to the floor when you are basting. You want it pulled flat without stretching it. If you can get that part done it really isn't hard to work with!
You totally made the right call on the solids - I like to temper busy with solids, too, but you're completely right that these fabrics just work.
It's gorgeous.
You are right, it does work, it is beautiful!
So cute, Heather!
What a sweet baby quilt!
That's so beautiful quilt! What a great pattern! x Teje
Yes, it does work! It's gorgeous!

Very cute for a baby quilt!
Such an adorable quilt! I can't believe it's from "leftovers."
This is so cute!! Love it!!
Very pretty heather!
I love busy quilts Heather and this is gorgeous - I don't know why I didn't know where you blogged before! Now I've found you :-)
It's a good kind of busy! I love it, and yes, it's a good size to be practicing on the new backing material!
What a FUN quilt!! It makes me happy to look at all of the prints and bright colors :).
They look like sweet little presents
It's very pretty! Nice and colourful :)
Oh it's just darling!
You know I love this one! I have quilted with minky before and I had no trouble with it whatsoever. I pin-basted like I always do and have done both straight-line and fmq on it with no issues. Good luck!
love it! I need to crank out a baby quilt for a shower this weekend, this might be a neat design to try! good luck with the minky, I think you'll do just fine :D
This is great, Heather! I love all those fun colors, and I'm sure you'll have no problem with the minky!
So pretty!
