Quilt Finish: Scrappy Blue Star Baby Quilt

2/4/2021

This is my second commissioned baby quilt for 2021, and my second sawtooth star baby quilt in a year. I had every intention of making a very different quilt, but I found my way back to this scrappy goodness. The person commissioning the quilt wanted scrappy, so that is what I did!! I did another version of the 12" floating sawtooth star block - this time with all miss-matched scrappy backgrounds. 
Picture
All of these fabrics came from my stash, with the exception of the darkest blue fabric.  I decided to go with predominantly blue low-volume fabrics for the stars - I have quite a few of those in my stash, but I rarely use them because I prefer black or gray low-volume fabrics when I'm doing a scrappy low-volume quilt.
Picture
I quilted straight lines on this quilt on my home machine. I think that curvy quilting (like my last Ocean Waves quilt) would have been too flowery and feminine for this litte-boy quilt.  Straight lines can provide good texture with out being too much of a distraction from a scrappy pattern.
Picture
The backing is a directional (see the foxes!) lt. blue on navy polka-dot fabric from Riley Blake and really was the inspiration for the whole color-scheme for this quilt.  Some of my pattern-matching for piecing the backing was a little off - but nothing you could notice from the back of a galloping horse!

I had enough of the blue penguin fabric to bind this quilt and I love the little penguins that peek out.

Quilt Details:
16 blocks that are made of 4" finished squares and themselves finish at 12."
The quilt finises at 48" square.
This quilt is very similar to my Pink Saw-tooth Star Baby Quilt.
