Sometime last year when I participated in one of the Doll Quilt Swaps, along with the quilt I received from Cara at Cara Quilts was a beautiful Bali Pop! I know, how generous! Well, I'd never had a Bali Pop before and wasn't sure what I'd use it for.
Then I came across the Baily Island Hobo pattern by Auntie Two and socked it away with the Bali Pop. I packed them both up when we headed to FL along with 42 strips 2 1/2" X 45" of batting (pre-cut at home), a magnatic snap and LOTS of thread. I have to say that when I was sorting the pops into the color order I wanted, I pulled a few out and went to the LQS to purchase a little piece to replace them and make the binding and straps.
Well, here is my finish:
It is about 16" X 15" X 6". Here is a close-up of what it looks like:
Such fun to make! I work on the dining table here at the condo so I can see Charlotte Harbor or the TV.
I just know you want to see those little ones that visited us:
Vincent learned how to roll over here and Audrey wanted Grandma to braid her hair every day. She "needed" her finger and toe nails polished too! What fun.
