Tutti-Frutti Baby (Granny Square) Quilt finished

I finished piecing and machine-quilting my Tutti-Frutti baby granny square quilt. Quilting is very therapeutic when grieving. The finished quilt size is about 32 x 40 inches. The quilt is made from 2.5 inch fabric blocks only which are trimmed to fit into a square (8.5 inch) on-point blocks.
I chose red binding to bring it all together, and a pretty china-blue rose print for the backing.

I love the fresh colours of your granny quilt. And both the binding and backing are perfect. I also find that quilting soothes a troubled mind.

I really agree about quilting being soothing. My mum is very elderly and going through a very difficult time and I find quilting gives me some peace from the worry. I wonder if generations of quilters have felt the same? Just found the blog - looking forward to delving back in it

Tutti-frutti is a perfect name for this quilt. I agree with LeeAnn, so grateful for sewing in our lives!

This is so lovely! I may copy your idea for some of my own baby quilts. I use quilting to cope with those "down" days. It's what keeps me going when I don't feel like doing anything. Your colors are absolutely wonderful! Such fabulous fabrics! I love the back--it is a perfect complement!
