Plucky Little Polka Dots

We had a busy weekend but I still managed to get a binding made and attached to a little girl's quilt. 

Her mom is expecting their second child in about 6 - 7 weeks. Apparently Poppy, the little girl, isn't very keen on having a baby brother (actually, after having mom and dad to herself for 6 years she doesn't feel that a baby girl is necessary either...) so our quilters thought a new quilt might help ease the transition to 'big sister'.




Jan made this one from coordinated jelly roll remnants before she moved and we've just recently finished quilting it, so I brought it home to find, make and attach a binding. 














There's lots of sweet bunnies, trees, ducks, flowers, and piglets to help capture her attention.


I landed on this tiny turquoise polka dot which goes equally well with both the front and the blue and turquoise plaid flannel backing. Hopefully it will work its magic and help make the transition to big sister just a little more manageable.

We're also making an I Spy quilt for baby, the beginnings of which I will share shortly....M
