Stashbusting Report #2

I used up 3 more yards of my stash. yeah!!!  while cleaning out the studio the other day i came across these little applique embroidered animals that i had done ages ago. there were 10 of them. don't know why i stopped at 10. 12 would have been better for a baby quilt...well wasn't going to embroider 2 more. so i used some black and white kid faces fabric and cut 2 more blocks.

then found some wild floral print with bold kid like colors along with fabrics to match in purple, green, orange, pink and yellow. i put a little 1" border around each animal and sewed them together. since i used the black and white kid faces print in 2 blocks, i put a small 1/2" border with some black and white print and then the wild floral for the last border. it came out to 38"x50" and i think that is the perfect size.

i used most of the rest of the fabrics to piece a backing for it.

and this little lovely will be the binding.

so, 3 more yards gone easy as pie. i believe this will be saved for a friend in Texas who is having a baby in May.

of course, now it goes in the 'to be quilted' pile. but, i am working on that, too. LOL

4 yards down; 96 to go.  now...what's next....hhhmmmm.  did you bust any of your stash today?
