A Tiny Bit of Focal Fabric

I needed to make a quilt for a co-worker's new baby boy. I only had a few pieces left of a darling focal fabric that would be super cute for a little boy, but it wasn't even enough to become a receiving blanket let alone a quilt!
After making the edges of the scraps even, I pulled some coordinating prints and started working at my design board.

You can see the blue painter's tape on the left side where I made guidelines for the desired finished quilt size.

Lime green, cobalt and turquoise - so pretty!

The black sashing really makes the colors pop.

Notice all the different quilting motifs. A baby quilt is a perfect first-time project because you can play and have some fun with whimsical quilting designs.

Finished Baby Quilt

I really am happy with how this quilt turned out. I love the colors and the quilting. I hope you'll try your hand at improvisational piecing and don't let tiny fabric bits stop you!
