This is a super fun quilt to make! Although the pattern is not available (that I can find), it’s easy to figure out, using half-square triangles and squares. It’s called “There’s a Dog on my Quilt” by Billie Lauder.
In June, the Rainbow Scrap Challenge was to use pastel colours. I made several 9 patches (my chosen block for the year) using 2 1/2” squares. This is what I showed in June:




Along with the start of the baby quilt:

Here is the finished quilt:

Here’s a picture of the back and a close up of the quilting. The grandma of the baby gave me the backing fabric several years ago. She had originally bought the fine whale corduroy to make some overalls when the baby’s mom was 3 or 4 years old. I put it aside, hoping that when the baby’s mom had a baby, it would be a girl. I found out in the late spring that my hope came true! I was limited in size because of the backing fabric, but it worked!
