I love plus blocks for baby quilts and tried sketching a few options before settling on this one and working out the dimensions.

I used my favourite Aurifil 50wt \u00a0cotton thread in a medium grey (#1158) that sunk in and blended beautifully.<\/p>\n<p>The binding was done by machine to withstand all the washing and dragging that baby quilts are subjected to, I&#8217;ve finally figured out just the right way to do it neatly, cutting the strips at 2 1\/4&#8243; and sewn to the back before folding over to the front and top stitching. The backing used left over strips from the front.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1482\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pescapresents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/2017-05-26-Isaacs-Quilt-4.jpg\" alt=\"Isaac's Quilt - Back\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1390\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.pescapresents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/2017-05-26-Isaacs-Quilt-4.jpg 1440w, http:\/\/www.pescapresents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/2017-05-26-Isaacs-Quilt-4-295x285.jpg 295w, http:\/\/www.pescapresents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/2017-05-26-Isaacs-Quilt-4-768x741.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.pescapresents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/2017-05-26-Isaacs-Quilt-4-600x579.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A little label to finish up and it&#8217;s now been gifted to Isaac with instructions to use it for picnics, cubbys, dragging around, and having lots of fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About time I made another quilt&#8230; and shared it!
