This top, made from Kona cotton solids, was such a fun project to design and make. Although I was originally going to go for a blue background, the Sprout, Lime and Peridot greens won out. But I think pink would have been cute, too!
This little top finished
at approximately 42” x 54” - the perfect size for baby or toddler.
Wanting to pick something special for the backing, I searched online and found these two cute prints from Fabric Spot. What great service... Ordered on the holiday Monday (Canada Thanksgiving) - they were delivered on Wednesday! And I love them!
For the backing, from the Forest Friends collection designed by Ingrid Slyder for Moda - Forest Friends Toss in Pebble. And for the binding - Forest Friends Birch Trees also in Pebble.
Those little critters are absolutely adorable! As you know... I have a fondness for foxes. But those brown bears, grey raccoons and green leaves coordinate beautifully with the Wild Life top. And I can hardly wait to see how the birch tree print will look as the binding.
Just have to get this basted and decide how to quilt it.....
