It's done! It's done!

Last summer I was looking at all my scraps and wondering what to do with them. Then it hit me! I will make a quilt for the twin bed we were going to be buying our oldest daughter (as baby #2 was due in Oct). So I start cutting squares- gotta love the rotary cutter for that! I have made alot of scrub tops, shirts, skirts, etc in the last 10 years and had a really bright and colorful mix of fabrics.
I cut out 6" squares, I then laid them out on the floor to find a great mix of colors/patterns. Then I sewed them into blocks of 9. Then sewed them all together until I had a twin bed size quilt top. The backing fabric is flannel, which I thought may help keep the quilt from sliding off the bed. However, a few months passed between the original purchase and piecing it together. I don't recommend that!  
I ended up needing more backing fabric and they did not have anymore of the original stuff I bought so that is why there is a band of darker green!
Anyway, just thought I would share with folks that can appreciate a good quilt story!  
The label is a nifty little trick my new Pfaff can do!

Isn't it a wonderful feeling when it's FINALLY done?   

Love the colours ... and your "model" is a cutey-patootie, too ... great job (on both!)

Such a beautiful quilt!!!  I love that you personalized it for your daughter.

That's really pretty!  I love how bright the colors are.  And the back looks good too, even with the different fabric.  Great Job!!

Thanks everyone! That is what I thought, looking at all my scraps, that it would turn out bright and happy; just the perfect quilt for a 2yo's bed!
Already working on a square stash for baby sister.....

It's very pretty! It'll match any color theme (if you do one) in her room for a very long time.

That's really cute! I love the little embroidered signature, and in the pic, it looks like she already loves it!
