Minnesota Baby!

Today's post is a quick and easy little baby quilt. 
Minnesota Baby! 

No pattern for this baby quilt, just a common block size (9.5"  finished to 9"). 
Each block starts with a cute focal print.   
After cutting a focal fabric piece I just kept adding strips around it like you would for a log cabin design.  Most blocks have two strips on each side of the focal fabric. however, you will see a few blocks with three. It all depends on the width of the strips used. 
              After I finished each block I just trimmed the blocks to a uniform 9.5" .   

After the blocks were joined together I added a 3" finished gray border around.  
Quilting is a simple meandering done on my domestic machine.
Backing is Flannel.
Finished size 42" X 42"

To see how I used the focal fabric in a more complicated quilt by checking out my crazy quilt post from November 21, 2018. 
(Several of the blocks have leftovers from a panel designed by Barb Tourtillootte and produced by Quiltworks. Other focal pieces fabrics are a black and white Minnesota nature print from my stash.)


Have a wonderful day!
