Happy Monday! Today I’m happy to be sharing a quilt I made from one of Fat Quarter Shop’s latest books, Fat Quarter Baby! I have a new granddaughter, so I was excited to get to make another quilt for her using one of the cute patterns from the book.
I was assigned to make the “Hannah” quilt, and I knew right away I wanted to use Prairie by Corey Yoder for Moda.
The “Hannah” quilt uses just 4 fat quarters along with an eighth yard piece and background, backing and binding fabric. I cut out the quilt and placed all of the parts and pieces on one of my design boards.
I had some left over scrappy Prairie fabric binding left over from the first baby quilt I made my daughter, and with the addition of just a few extra scrappy pieces it was just enough to bind this quilt.
I did make a couple of changes…instead of using just four fat quarters I was able to use fat eighths and use two different prints for most of the blocks. This helped me make it even a little more scrappy and fun!
For background I used some of the tone on tone dots from the Daysail collection by Bonnie & Camille for Moda. It added a fun touch of whimsy to this already cute design.
My quilt is at the quilter’s right now, but I have the binding all ready to go when it comes back!
I’ll be sure to share this again when it’s all finished!
We’re definitely in love with this little quilt here at our house. And there are a lot more wonderful projects in the book…20 baby quilts for girls and boys along with a bonus table runner, too!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you’ll visit the other stops on the blog tour to see the other wonderful quilt designs–stop by the Jolly Jabber blog to get all of the information about this blog tour.

Can you say: adorable?!!! I just love it!!! I have a stack of that line and now I want the book!! And I haven't seen any pictures of the grandbaby!! Did I miss something? Congrats!! Hugs, H
I love that you made it more scrappy and added a scrappy binding. A very cute quilt! Good job!
Congratulations on your granddaughter! I love this quilt and how you combined prints of the same color for your blocks. And I love the Prairie collection. š
I''m using the same fabric to make a baby quilt too!
That is fabulous. I love those fabrics.
Such a happy Quilt!
Congratulations on your new granddaughter! (You can not possibly have a granddaughter yet because you look so young!) She will love her special quilt from you!
I LOVE the scrappy look you got. Just wish I could be that smart!!
Your Hannah quilt turned out brilliantly Sherri! The pieced binding is going to be the "pieced de resistance" LOL.
This is wonderful! And love the way you used two prints in each block!
It's a wonderful quilt! The colors are bright perfect for a little girl! I love that line. I've got to get that book but my quilts end up much larger!
I love the way you combined colors on this quilt! So thoughtful and pretty.
I loved your binding!
I love the colors in the quilt. Too cute.
