*This quilt has been donated to Quilts for Kids! :) (as part of 100 Quilts for Kids)*
I finished my quilt for 100 Quilts for Kids, following the Warm Cool QAL on In Color Order. It was time to go through my scraps, and it was time to try some HSTs. I'm glad I did!
However... now that I have my baby GO!... I'm going to be needing that HST die - this was a pain to cut out, even for a baby quilt. Onto my Christmas list it goes! :)
The name just came to me. All those rainbow colored charm squares = cereal (in my mind, apparently!)
The quilting took a lot longer than I thought, but I love the effect, so I'm happy with it now (it's a little wrinky in this picture but you get the idea). And I following my new favorite (slightly lazy) technique of folding over extra backing to make a binding... :) All I can say is, when you are on a deadline to finish three quilts in two weeks, you start to value your time a lot more.
Still need to sew on my label!
I'll be linking to this post in September for the 100 Quilts for Kids linky party, with an update about where I donated it. Working on it :)
