The finished product:
The finished quilt measures 25.5 inches x 30.5 inches. The quilt top was made from a standard size recycled pillowcase (with a 15 " square of fabric leftover), and 1/2 yard designer fabric.
I used a cotton/wool blend batting and quilted it again with straight lines for more emphasis on the simplicity of the block.
The back is pieced with some of the left over pillowcase fabric and another 1/2 yard of Kaffe Fassett Polka Dot fabric, this time in the colorway Sprout
To frame the quilt and in keeping with the pretty colors used in the quilt, I added a pink check binding.
This environmentally conscious baby quilt is now listed in my Etsy Store, be sure to check it out! Reduce, Re-use, Recycle!
