Dream On - little Audrey!!

I'm babysitting Audrey a few days next week and I think she needs another quilt.

I used two charm packs of Dream On by Urban Chicks for Moda and made everything but the stripes into HST's.
The striped charms looked cute left whole.

Then for binding,  I used Kei Honeycomb green background with white dots.


And for the backing, I wanted something very soft, so I used Moda Snuggles in Grass.
And you can see that I quilted it by sewing a quarter inch on each side of one diagonal seam of each square.



And because she's so cute, here's a picture of Audrey all ready to go swimming and on the pontoon with us last Sunday:
