Friday Finish: Another Make It Do Maxi Quilt!

There is a binding thief at my house.

Seriously. I made a stack o' bindings (photographic evidence) and that brown one with the dots disappeared.


I'm pretty certain I know who the culprit is. A certain three-year-old in my house is obsessed with polka dots these days. I'm sure she swiped it and stashed it away somewhere and we'll find it when we eventually move. Because I cannot find it anywhere! Don't know how she  missed those pink ones.

I figure when I do find it, I'll use it for another project. In the meantime, I had to get this quilt finished:


Just another version of my Make It Do Maxi quilt. This one takes just a layer cake plus yardage for the background and border. I'm liking the layer cake quilt patterns these days. Works up so quick, and so great at showcasing the bigger prints in a line that get chopped up in a smaller block.


Finished at 72" square, and backed in baby pink Minky. And claimed, surprise surprise, by the binding thief herself.


No remorse, whatsoever. She's lucky she's cute.

  3. You are never too young to love polka dots! I remember fabric shopping when I was little with my mom and aunt, I would dream of the day that I would get to buy fabric.

  8. Awesome quilt! I love that your little girl steals your fabric. Mine does too--in fact I haven't been able to sew using hot pink or solid pink for 2 years--or anything with a Disney princess. When my boys were little, I wasn't allowed to cut or sew any Disney Cars or anything with a train. I had to buy it at the store--but they were "un-cuttable."

  9. I've linked up twice! So proud I worked out how to on my own. Funny she went for the brown polka dots. Pink is much prettier! Cute picture of your little one in the quilt. She looks a bit cheeky?
